Question

Show that xcosec^2x = cotx - d/dx xcotx

Answer 1

The given equation, x.cosec²x = cot x - d/dx x.cot x, is proved using the product rule of differentials.

In the question, we are asked to show that x.cosec²x = cot x - d/dx x.cot x.

To prove, we go by the right-hand side of the equation:

cot x - d/dx x.cot x.

We solve the differential d/dx using the product rule, according to which, d/dx uv = u. d/dx(v) + v. d/dx(u), where u and v are functions of x.

cot x - {x. d/dx(cot x) + cot x. d/dx(x)}

= cot x - {x. (-cosec²x) + cot x} {Since, d/dx(cot x) = -cosec²x, and d/dx(x) = 1}

= cot x + x. cosec²x - cot x

= x. cosec²x

= The left-hand side of the equation.

Thus, the given equation, x.cosec²x = cot x - d/dx x.cot x, is proved using the product rule of differentials.
