2 cot (x) ------- + log(sin(x)) 2
cot(x)^2/2 + log(sin(x))
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
There are multiple ways to do this derivative.
Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
The derivative of sine is cosine:
To find :
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The result of the chain rule is:
