How do you differentiate #y=(1+sinx)/(x+cosx)#? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Derivative Rules for y=cos(x) and y=tan(x) 1 Answer Douglas K. Oct 18, 2016 Use the Quotient Rule #f'(x) = {(x)cos(x)}/(x + cos(x))^2# Explanation: The quotient rule: Given: #f(x) = g(x)/(h(x))# #f'(x) = {g'(x)h(x) - g(x)h'(x)}/(h(x))^2# #g(x) = 1 + sin(x)# #g'(x) = cos(x)# #h(x) = x + cos(x)# #h'(x) = 1 - sin(x)# #f'(x) = {(cos(x))(x + cos(x)) - (1 + sin(x))(1 - sin(x))}/(x + cos(x))^2# #f'(x) = {(x)cos(x) + cos^2(x) - (1 - sin^2(x))}/(x + cos(x))^2# #f'(x) = {(x)cos(x) + cos^2(x) - (cos^2(x))}/(x + cos(x))^2# #f'(x) = {(x)cos(x)}/(x + cos(x))^2# Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of #y=cos(x)# ?
