Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    1. Let .

    2. The derivative of is .

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

      1. The derivative of sine is cosine:

      The result of the chain rule is:

    4. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

      1. Let .

      2. Apply the power rule: goes to

      3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

        1. The derivative of sine is cosine:

        The result of the chain rule is:

      So, the result is:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
cos(x)                
------ - cos(x)*sin(x)
sin(x)                
$$- \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{\sin{\left(x \right)}}$$
The second derivative [src]

                         sin (x)
$$\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} - \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 1 - \frac{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$$
The third derivative [src]
