$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2cos\left(x\right)}\right)$

To derive the function $x^{2\cos\left(x\right)}$, use the method of logarithmic differentiation. First, assign the function to $y$, then take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation
$y=x^{2\cos\left(x\right)}$

Apply natural logarithm to both sides of the equality
The derivative of the cosine of a function is equal to minus the sine of the function times the derivative of the function, in other words, if $f(x) = \cos(x)$, then $f'(x) = -\sin(x)\cdot D_x(x)$
The derivative of the natural logarithm of a function is equal to the derivative of the function divided by that function. If $f(x)=ln\:a$ (where $a$ is a function of $x$), then $\displaystyle f'(x)=\frac{a'}{a}$
