The Quotient Rule: Finding the Derivative of csc(x)

The derivative of csc(x) can be found using the quotient rule

The derivative of csc(x) can be found using the quotient rule.

First, let’s express csc(x) as 1/sin(x), where sin(x) is the function in the denominator.

Using the quotient rule, the derivative of 1/sin(x) is:

[ (sin(x))’ * 1 – (1)’ * sin(x) ] / (sin(x))^2

The derivative of sin(x) is cos(x), and the derivative of a constant 1 is 0.

So, applying these values to the equation, we get:

[ cos(x) * 1 – 0 * sin(x) ] / (sin(x))^2

Simplifying further, we have:

cos(x) / (sin(x))^2

Finally, we can rewrite this in terms of csc(x):

csc(x) * cot(x)

Therefore, the derivative of csc(x) is csc(x) * cot(x).
