$$\log{\left(\sin{\left(x \right)} \right)}$$

log(sin(x))

Detail solution

Let $u = \sin{\left(x \right)}$ .
The derivative of $\log{\left(u \right)}$ is $\frac{1}{u}$ .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. The derivative of sine is cosine:
  
  $\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$
The result of the chain rule is:

$\frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{\sin{\left(x \right)}}$
Now simplify:

$\frac{1}{\tan{\left(x \right)}}$

The answer is:

$\frac{1}{\tan{\left(x \right)}}$
