Your Input

Find $\frac{d}{dx} \left(\cot{\left(x \right)}\right)$ .

Solution

The derivative of the cotangent is $\frac{d}{dx} \left(\cot{\left(x \right)}\right) = - \csc^{2}{\left(x \right)}$ :

{\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\cot{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(- \csc^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)}

Thus, $\frac{d}{dx} \left(\cot{\left(x \right)}\right) = - \csc^{2}{\left(x \right)}$ .

Answer

$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\cot{\left(x \right)}\right) = - \csc^{2}{\left(x \right)}$ A
