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