Question
Differentiate the following from the first principle$\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{\cos\text{x}}{\text{x}}$

Answer

We have, $\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{\cos\text{x}}{\text{x}}$
$\because\text{f}'(\text{x})=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f}(\text{x}+\text{h})-\text{f}(\text{x})}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\frac{\cos(\text{x}+\text{h})}{\text{x}+\text{h}}-\frac{\cos\text{x}}{\text{x}}}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}\cos(\text{x}+\text{h})-(\text{x}+\text{h})\cos\text{x}}{\text{xh}(\text{x}+\text{h})}$
$\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}(\cos\text{x}.\cos\text{h}+\sin\text{h}.\sin\text{h})-\text{x}\cos\text{x}-\text{h}.\cos\text{x}}{\text{xh}(\text{x}+\text{h})}$ $[\because\cos(\text{A}+\text{B}=\cos\text{A}.\cos{B}+\sin\text{A}.\sin\text{B})]$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}.\cos\text{x}(\cos\text{h}-1)}{\text{xh}(\text{x}+\text{h})}+\frac{\text{x}\cos\text{x}.\sin\text{h}}{\text{xh}(\text{x}+\text{h})}-\frac{\text{h}\cos\text{x}}{\text{xh}(\text{x}+\text{h})}$
$=\frac{-\text{x}\cos\text{x}}{\text{x}(\text{x}+\text{h})}\times\frac{2\sin^2\frac{\text{h}}{2}}{\frac{\text{h}^2}{4}}\times\frac{\text{h}^2}{4}-\frac{\text{x}\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}(\text{x}+\text{h})}-\frac{\cos\text{x}}{\text{x}(\text{x}+\text{h})}$
$=0-\frac{\text{x}\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}^2}-\frac{\cos\text{x}}{\text{x}^2}$
$=\frac{-\text{x}\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x}}{\text{x}^2}$
