The correct Answer is:
To find the derivative of the function \( y = \frac{x}{\sin^n x} \), we will apply the quotient rule of differentiation. The quotient rule states that if we have a function in the form \( y = \frac{u}{v} \), then the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) is given by: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2} \] where \( u = x \) and \( v = \sin^n x \). ### Step 1: Identify \( u \) and \( v \) Let: - \( u = x \) - \( v = \sin^n x \) ### Step 2: Find \( \frac{du}{dx} \) and \( \frac{dv}{dx} \) Now we need to find the derivatives of \( u \) and \( v \): - \( \frac{du}{dx} = 1 \) - To find \( \frac{dv}{dx} \), we will use the chain rule. Since \( v = \sin^n x \), we have: \[ \frac{dv}{dx} = n \sin^{n-1} x \cdot \cos x \] ### Step 3: Apply the quotient rule Now we can apply the quotient rule: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sin^n x \cdot 1 - x \cdot (n \sin^{n-1} x \cdot \cos x)}{(\sin^n x)^2} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression This simplifies to: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sin^n x - n x \sin^{n-1} x \cos x}{\sin^{2n} x} \] ### Step 5: Factor out common terms We can factor out \( \sin^{n-1} x \) from the numerator: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sin^{n-1} x \left( \sin x - n x \cos x \right)}{\sin^{2n} x} \] ### Step 6: Final expression This can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sin x - n x \cos x}{\sin^{n+1} x} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the derivative of \( y = \frac{x}{\sin^n x} \) is: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sin x - n x \cos x}{\sin^{n+1} x} \]
