$\sin (x) + \cos (x)$

Step 1

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $\sin (x) + \cos (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)] + \frac{d}{d x} [\cos (x)]$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)] + \frac{d}{d x} [\cos (x)]$

Step 2

The derivative of $\sin (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\cos (x)$ .

$\cos (x) + \frac{d}{d x} [\cos (x)]$

Step 3

The derivative of $\cos (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $- \sin (x)$ .

$\cos (x) - \sin (x)$
