Differentiate the following function ...

Differentiate the following function from first principles: `logcosx`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have to find the derivative of `log cos x` with the first principle method, so,
`f(x)=log cos x`
by using the first principle formula, we get,
`f^{prime}(x) =lim _{h rightarrow 0} frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} `
`f^{prime}(x) =lim _{h rightarrow 0} frac{log cos (x+h)-log cos x}{h} `
