Solution

The derivative of the cotangent is ddx(cot(x))=csc2(x)\frac{d}{dx} \left(\cot{\left(x \right)}\right) = - \csc^{2}{\left(x \right)}:

(ddx(cot(x)))=(csc2(x)){\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\cot{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(- \csc^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)}

Thus, ddx(cot(x))=csc2(x)\frac{d}{dx} \left(\cot{\left(x \right)}\right) = - \csc^{2}{\left(x \right)}.

Answer

ddx(cot(x))=csc2(x)\frac{d}{dx} \left(\cot{\left(x \right)}\right) = - \csc^{2}{\left(x \right)}A
