Step 1. Identify u=xu = x, v=sin⁡x+cos⁡xv = \sin x + \cos x, so u′=1u' = 1, v′=cos⁡x−sin⁡xv' = \cos x - \sin x.

Step 2. Apply the quotient rule: y′=1⋅(sin⁡x+cos⁡x)−x(cos⁡x−sin⁡x)(sin⁡x+cos⁡x)2y' = \dfrac{1\cdot(\sin x+\cos x) - x(\cos x - \sin x)}{(\sin x+\cos x)^2}.

Step 3. Expand the numerator: sin⁡x+cos⁡x−xcos⁡x+xsin⁡x\sin x + \cos x - x\cos x + x\sin x. …
