You have the right idea, but you just need to be watch out for a few small things.

First of all:
Remember the Chain Rule:
<br /> \frac{d}{dx}(sin(2x)) = 2cos(2x)<br />

Secondly:
Be careful with your minus signs, especially with going from step 2 to step 3.

Finally:
Once you get all that out of the way, go through your trig identities and see if you can't simplify it any (http://www.sosmath.com/trig/Trig5/trig5/trig5.html if you need a good list of them).

You have an error in the derivitave of sin(2x) and cos(2x). Use the chain rule, you are missing a factor of 2. Continue.

ok so basically for my second line i was only missing a 2 for dsin(2x)/dx and dcos(2x)/dx then i can go ahead and simplift using tri propertys? did i mix something up cause i don't see any that are obvious

and secondly, did anyone check out the second question i had on that page, did i do the first and second derivative right?

The second one matches what I got.
