The derivative of the natural log is 1/x, therefore the derivative is 1/cos(x). However, since the value of cos(x) is submitted within the natural log we must use the chain rule. Then, we multiply 1/cos(x) by the derivative of cos(x). We get the answer: -sin(x)/cos(x) which can be simplified into -tan(x).

What is the derivative of 3cosx?
Use the rule for multiplication with a constant - and look up the derivative of "cos x" in a basic table of derivatives. The answer is 3 times the derivative of cos x.
What is the derivative of e the the power ln x?
y = e^ln x using the fact that e to the ln x is just x, and the derivative of x is 1: y = x y' = 1
What is the derivative of ln x to the power of 2?
If the function is (ln x)2, then the chain rules gives us the derivative 2ln(x)/x, with the x in the denominator. If the function is ln (x2), then the chain rule gives us the derivative 2/x.
What is the 87th derivative of sin x?
Every fourth derivative, you get back to "sin x" - in other words, the 84th derivative of "sin x" is also "sin x". From there, you need to take the derivative 3 more times, getting:85th derivative: cos x86th derivative: -sin x87th derivative: -cos x
What is the derivative of sinx pwr cosx?
For the function: y = sin(x)cos(x) To find the derivative y', implicit differentiation must be used. To do this, both sides of the equation must be put into the argument of a natural logarithm: ln(y) = ln(sin(x)cos(x)) by the properties of logarithms, this can also be expressed as: ln(y) = cos(x)ln(sin(x)) deriving both sides of the equation yields: (1/y)(y') = cos(x)(1/sin(x))(cos(x)) + -sin(x)ln(sin(x)) This derivative features two important things. The obvious thing is the product rule use to differentiate the right side of the equation. The left side of the equation brings into play the "implicit" differentiation part of this problem. The derivative of ln(y) is a chain rule. The derivative of just ln(y) is simply 1/y, but you must also multiply by the derivative of y, which is y'. so the total derivative of ln(y) is (1/y)(y'). solving for y' in the above, the following is found: y' = y[(cos2(x)/sin(x)) - sin(x)ln(sin(x))] = y[cot(x)cos(x) - sin(x)ln(sin(x))] y' = y[cot(x)cos(x) - sin(x)ln(sin(x))] = sin(x)cos(x)[cot(x)cos(x) - sin(x)ln(sin(x)) is the most succinct form of this derivative.
What is the anti-derivative of a tangent function?
-ln|cos x| + C
What is the derivative of cos lnx?
This is a chain rule question. Let u = ln(x) d{cos[ln(x)]}/dx = (d[cos(u)]/du)*(du/dx) = -sin(u)*(du/dx) = -sin[ln(x)]*d[ln(x)]/dx = -sin[ln(x)]/x
What is the derivative of lnlnx?
1/xlnx Use the chain rule: ln(ln(x)) The derivative of the outside is1/ln(x) times the derivative of the inside. 1/[x*ln(x)]
Derivative of cosx?
The derivative of cos(x) is negative sin(x). Also, the derivative of sin(x) is cos(x).

How do you do exponential functions?
The derivative of e^u(x) with respect to x: [du/dx]*[e^u(x)]For a general exponential: b^x, can be rewritten as b^x = e^(x*ln(b))So derivative of b^x = derivative of e^u(x), where u(x) = x*ln(b).Derivative of x*ln(b) = ln(b). {remember b is just a constant, so ln(b) is a constant}So derivative of b^x = ln(b)*e^(x*ln(b))= ln(b) * b^x(from above)

What is the Derivative of 500 ln x plus 1?
the derivative of ln x = x'/x; the derivative of 1 is 0 so the answer is 500(1/x)+0 = 500/x

What is the derivative of cos x sin x divided by cos x sin x?
(cos x sin x) / (cos x sin x) = 1. The derivative of a constant, such as 1, is zero.
