cot((x + 1)/sqrt(2))

Detail solution

There are multiple ways to do this derivative.
Method #1
1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
  
  $\cot{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)} = \frac{1}{\tan{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}$
2. Let $u = \tan{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}$ .
3. Apply the power rule: $\frac{1}{u}$ goes to $- \frac{1}{u^{2}}$
4. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \tan{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}$ :
  1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
    
    $\tan{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)} = \frac{\sin{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}{\cos{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}$
  2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:
    
    $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
    
    $f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}$ .
    
    To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
    1. Let $u = \frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}}$ .
    2. The derivative of sine is cosine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d u} \sin{\left(u \right)} = \cos{\left(u \right)}$
    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}}$ :
      
      The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
      
      Differentiate $x + 1$ term by term:
      
      Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
      
      The derivative of the constant $1$ is zero.
      
      The result is: $1$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
      
      The result of the chain rule is:
      
      $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cos{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}$
    To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
    1. Let $u = \frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}}$ .
    2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d u} \cos{\left(u \right)} = - \sin{\left(u \right)}$
    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}}$ :
      
      The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
      
      Differentiate $x + 1$ term by term:
      
      Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
      
      The derivative of the constant $1$ is zero.
      
      The result is: $1$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
      
      The result of the chain rule is:
      
      $- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \sin{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}$
    Now plug in to the quotient rule:
    
    $\frac{\frac{\sqrt{2} \sin^{2}{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{2} \cos^{2}{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}{2}}{\cos^{2}{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}$
  The result of the chain rule is:
  
  $- \frac{\frac{\sqrt{2} \sin^{2}{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{2} \cos^{2}{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}{2}}{\cos^{2}{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)} \tan^{2}{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}$

  $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
  
  $f{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}$ .
  
  To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :

    The result of the chain rule is:
    
    $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cos{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}$
  Now plug in to the quotient rule:
  
  $\frac{- \frac{\sqrt{2} \sin^{2}{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{2} \cos^{2}{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}{2}}{\sin^{2}{\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}}$
