log(1 - cos(x))
d --(log(1 - cos(x))) dx
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
So, the result is:
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
sin(x) ---------- 1 - cos(x)
/ 2 \ | sin (x) | -|----------- + cos(x)| \-1 + cos(x) / ------------------------ -1 + cos(x)
/ 2 \ | 3*cos(x) 2*sin (x) | |1 - ----------- - --------------|*sin(x) | -1 + cos(x) 2| \ (-1 + cos(x)) / ----------------------------------------- -1 + cos(x)
