What is the derivative of csc2(x)? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Derivatives of y=sec(x), y=cot(x), y= csc(x) 1 Answer Carl S. Apr 13, 2018 ddx[csc2(x)]=−2cotxcsc2x Explanation: csc2(x)=1sin2(x) ddx[csc2(x)]=ddx[1sin2(x)] ddx[1sin2(x)]=ddx[[sin(x)]−2] let u=sinx ddx[[sin(x)]−2]=ddu[u−2]ddx[sinx] ddu[u−2]=−2u−3 ddx[sinx]=cosx ddx[[sin(x)]−2]=−2u−3cosx=−2cosxsin3x cosxsinx=cotx⇒−2cosxsin3x=−2cotxsin2x 1sin2x=csc2x⇒−2cotxcsc2x ddx[csc2(x)]=−2cotxcsc2x Answer link Related questions What is Derivatives of y=sec(x) ?
