How do you differentiate #f(x)=cot(e^(x)) # using the chain rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Harish Chandra Rajpoot Jul 16, 2018 #f'(x)=-e^x\cosec^2(e^x)# Explanation: Given function: #f(x)=\cot(e^x)# #\frac{d}{dx}f(x)=frac{d}{dx}(\cot (e^x))# #f'(x)=-\cosec^2 (e^x)\frac{d}{dx}(e^x)# #=-\cosec^2 (e^x)(e^x)# #=-e^x\cosec^2(e^x)# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
