Final answer to the problem
Step-by-step Solution
Learn how to solve basic differentiation rules problems step by step online. Find the derivative of ln(cos(x)). The derivative of the natural logarithm of a function is equal to the derivative of the function divided by that function. If f(x)=ln\:a (where a is a function of x), then \displaystyle f'(x)=\frac{a'}{a}. The derivative of the cosine of a function is equal to minus the sine of the function times the derivative of the function, in other words, if f(x) = \cos(x), then f'(x) = -\sin(x)\cdot D_x(x). Multiply the fraction by the term . Any expression multiplied by 1 is equal to itself.
