Detail solution

  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=−f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)g2(x)\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(x)=sin⁡(x)f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(x \right)} and g(x)=log⁡(x)g{\left(x \right)} = \log{\left(x \right)}.

    To find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

    1. The derivative of sine is cosine:

      ddxsin⁡(x)=cos⁡(x)\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}

    To find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

    1. The derivative of log⁡(x)\log{\left(x \right)} is 1x\frac{1}{x}.

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

    log⁡(x)cos⁡(x)−sin⁡(x)xlog⁡(x)2\frac{\log{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)} - \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{x}}{\log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}

  2. Now simplify:

    cos⁡(x)log⁡(x)−sin⁡(x)xlog⁡(x)2\frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{\log{\left(x \right)}} - \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{x \log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}

The answer is:

cos⁡(x)log⁡(x)−sin⁡(x)xlog⁡(x)2\frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{\log{\left(x \right)}} - \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{x \log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}
