log(cot(x/2) + 1)

Detail solution

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

$- \frac{\frac{\sin^{2}{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}}{2} + \frac{\cos^{2}{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}}{2}}{\left(\cot{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} + 1\right) \cos^{2}{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} \tan^{2}{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}}$
Now simplify:

$- \frac{1}{\left(\cos{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \left(\cot{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} + 1\right) \tan^{2}{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}}$

The answer is:

$- \frac{1}{\left(\cos{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \left(\cot{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} + 1\right) \tan^{2}{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}}$
