How do you use the chain rule to differentiate #1/-sinx#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Alan N. Sep 15, 2016 #f'(x) = cosx/sin^2x# Explanation: #f(x) = -1/sinx# #f'(x) =-d/dx(sinx)^-1# #= - (-1*(sinx)^-2) * d/dx sinx# (Power rule and chain rule) #=(sinx)^-2 * cosx# #= cosx/sin^2x# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
