$f (x) = \frac{10 - \cos (x)}{10 + \sin (x)}$

Step 1

Differentiate using the Quotient Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{f (x)}{g (x)}]$ is $\frac{g (x) \frac{d}{d x} [f (x)] - f (x) \frac{d}{d x} [g (x)]}{{g (x)}^{2}}$ where $f (x) = 10 - \cos (x)$ and $g (x) = 10 + \sin (x)$ .

$\frac{(10 + \sin (x)) \frac{d}{d x} [10 - \cos (x)] - (10 - \cos (x)) \frac{d}{d x} [10 + \sin (x)]}{{(10 + \sin (x))}^{2}}$

Step 2.1

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $10 - \cos (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{d}{d x} [10] + \frac{d}{d x} [- \cos (x)]$ .

$\frac{(10 + \sin (x)) (\frac{d}{d x} [10] + \frac{d}{d x} [- \cos (x)]) - (10 - \cos (x)) \frac{d}{d x} [10 + \sin (x)]}{{(10 + \sin (x))}^{2}}$

Step 2.2

Since $10$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $10$ with respect to $x$ is $0$ .

$\frac{(10 + \sin (x)) (0 + \frac{d}{d x} [- \cos (x)]) - (10 - \cos (x)) \frac{d}{d x} [10 + \sin (x)]}{{(10 + \sin (x))}^{2}}$

Step 2.3

Add $0$ and $\frac{d}{d x} [- \cos (x)]$ .

$\frac{(10 + \sin (x)) \frac{d}{d x} [- \cos (x)] - (10 - \cos (x)) \frac{d}{d x} [10 + \sin (x)]}{{(10 + \sin (x))}^{2}}$

Step 2.4

Since $- 1$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $- \cos (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $- \frac{d}{d x} [\cos (x)]$ .

$\frac{(10 + \sin (x)) (- \frac{d}{d x} [\cos (x)]) - (10 - \cos (x)) \frac{d}{d x} [10 + \sin (x)]}{{(10 + \sin (x))}^{2}}$

Step 3

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

$\frac{(10 + \sin (x)) (- - \sin (x)) - (10 - \cos (x)) \frac{d}{d x} [10 + \sin (x)]}{{(10 + \sin (x))}^{2}}$

Step 4.2

$\frac{(10 + \sin (x)) \sin (x) - (10 - \cos (x)) \frac{d}{d x} [10 + \sin (x)]}{{(10 + \sin (x))}^{2}}$

Step 4.3

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $10 + \sin (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{d}{d x} [10] + \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)]$ .

$\frac{(10 + \sin (x)) \sin (x) - (10 - \cos (x)) (\frac{d}{d x} [10] + \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)])}{{(10 + \sin (x))}^{2}}$

Step 4.4

Since $10$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $10$ with respect to $x$ is $0$ .

$\frac{(10 + \sin (x)) \sin (x) - (10 - \cos (x)) (0 + \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)])}{{(10 + \sin (x))}^{2}}$

Step 4.5

Add $0$ and $\frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)]$ .

$\frac{(10 + \sin (x)) \sin (x) - (10 - \cos (x)) \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)]}{{(10 + \sin (x))}^{2}}$

Step 5

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