Get help: Box 1: Enter your answer as an expression. Example: 3x^2+1, x/5, (a+b)/c
To find the derivative `dy/dx` of the function `y=-13x+6cosx`, apply the basic rules of differentiation to each term separately. For the linear term `-13 x`, the derivative is simply the coefficient `-13`. For the trigonometric term `6 cos x`, use the derivative of cosine, remembering to include the chain rule for the coefficient `6`.
Be sure your variables match those in the question `-13-6 sin x`
