How to take the derivative of csc x? (2 Different Methods)

We will discover how to differentiate csc x, or as known as cosec x. According to the formula for derivatives, the derivative of csc x, or cosec x, is equal to - csc x cot x. In this video, we will apply 2 different methods to take this derivative, which are the quotient rule and the chain rule.

The reason we can apply the quotient rule is that csc x = 1/sin x, where we have a quotient of functions. On the other hand, we can apply the chain rule because 1/sin x = (sin x)^-1, where we have a composite function.
