When we see this expression, we should think "square root of something",

, 

and in order to differentiate it, we should first differentiate the outer function , "the square root of", with respect to its argument and, after that, multiply by the derivative of the inner functional expression =cosx,

ddxcosx=12cosxcosx 

where we have used the differentiation rule

ddxx=ddxx12=21x121=21x12=12x.

Thus, we obtain

ddxcosx=12cosx(sinx)=sinx2cosx.
