sin(t) ---------- 1 - cos(t)
d / sin(t) \ --|----------| dt\1 - cos(t)/
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
The derivative of sine is cosine:
To find :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
So, the result is:
The result is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
