Derivative of the cosine of a quotient: ![]()
Via the Scalar Multiple rule, we can treat this as
.
We can go a step further and consider it as involving a quantity u:
, where
.
When we eventually apply the Chain Rule, we'll need
.
Combining these partial results and using the derivative of the cosine, we get

Finally, we substitute for u:

Note that the argument of the sine in the result is the same as the argument of the cosine in the original problem.
