What is the derivative of #y = ln(sin^2(theta))#? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Intuitive Approach to the derivative of y=sin(x) 1 Answer The_tutor Oct 9, 2016 #Cot^2theta# Explanation: Using the chain rule we have: #F(x)'= f'(g(x))*g'(x)# #y'=ln'(sin^2(theta))*(cos^2(theta))# #1/sin^2theta *Cos^2theta# #Cot^2theta# Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of #-sin(x)#?
