Differentiate the following with respect to x:

cot2x


To Find: Differentiation


NOTE : When 2 functions are in the product then we used product rule i.e


Formula used: (cota nu) = acota - 1(nu) (cot nu) (nu) and = nxn - 1


Let us take y = cot2x


So, by using the above formula, we have


cot2x = 2cot(x) = - 2cotx (cosec2x).


Differentiation of y = cot2x is - 2cotx (cosec2x)
