Learn How to Derive csc(x) and Its Optimization Using Quotient Rule and Chain Rule

d/dx(cscx)

To find the derivative of csc(x), we’ll need to use the quotient rule along with the knowledge of derivative of sine function.

We know that csc(x) is equal to 1/sin(x). We can rewrite this as follows:

csc(x) = (sin(x))^(-1)

Using the power rule for differentiation and chain rule, we can find the derivative:

d/dx[csc(x)] = d/dx[(sin(x))^(-1)]

= -1*(sin(x))^(-2)*cos(x)

= -cos(x)*(sin(x))^(-2)

Therefore, the derivative of csc(x) is -cos(x)*(sin(x))^(-2), or alternatively we can write it as -cot(x)csc(x).
