1 log(cos(x)) - - x
log(cos(x)) - 1/x
Differentiate term by term:
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
The result of the chain rule is:
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
1 sin(x) -- - ------ 2 cos(x) x
/ 2 \ | 2 sin (x)| -|1 + -- + -------| | 3 2 | \ x cos (x)/
/ 3 \ |3 sin(x) sin (x)| 2*|-- - ------ - -------| | 4 cos(x) 3 | \x cos (x)/
