#(dy)/(dx)=(sintheta)^(tantheta)(sec^2thetalnsintheta+1)#

usinf logarithmic differentiation

#y=(sintheta)^(tantheta)#

#lny=ln(sintheta)^(tantheta)#

by laws of logs

#lny=tanthetaln(sintheta)#

now differentiate #wrt" " x#

#d/dx(lny=tanthetaln(sintheta))#

#RHS" "# will need the product rule

#1/y(dy)/(dx)=sec^2thetalnsintheta+tantheta1/sinthetaxxcostheta#

#1/y(dy)/(dx)=sec^2thetalnsintheta+cancel((sintheta/costhetaxxcostheta/sintheta))^(=1)#

#1/y(dy)/(dx)=sec^2thetalnsintheta+1#

#(dy)/(dx)=y(sec^2thetalnsintheta+1)#

#(dy)/(dx)=(sintheta)^(tantheta)(sec^2thetalnsintheta+1)#
