#f'(x)=-(cos(x)cos(2x)+2sin(x)sin(2x))/(-cos(2x))^2#

Explanation:

We Need the Quotient rule

#(u/v)'=(u'v-uv')/v^2#
so we get

#f'(x)=((cos(x)*(-cos(2x))-2sin(x)*(sin(2x)*2)))/(-cos(2x))^2#
so we get

#f'(x)=-(cos(x)cos(2x)+2sin(x)sin(2x))/(-cos(2x))^2#
note that

#(-cos(2x))'=-(-sin(2x))*2=sin(2x)*2#
