Learn how to solve quotient rule of differentiation problems step by step online. Find the derivative using the quotient rule (d/dx)(((x^5+3x)^4)/(cos(x)). Apply the quotient rule for differentiation, which states that if f(x) and g(x) are functions and h(x) is the function defined by {\displaystyle h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}}, where {g(x) \neq 0}, then {\displaystyle h'(x) = \frac{f'(x) \cdot g(x) - g'(x) \cdot f(x)}{g(x)^2}}. The power rule for differentiation states that if n is a real number and f(x) = x^n, then f'(x) = nx^{n-1}. 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 a sum of two functions is the sum of the derivatives of each function.
