How do you find the derivative of ln(cosx)? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Derivative Rules for y=cos(x) and y=tan(x) 1 Answer Jim H Oct 9, 2015 Use the derivative of ln and the chain rule. Explanation: d/dx(lnu) = 1/u d/dx(u) So d/dx(ln(cosx)) = 1/cosx d/dx(cosx). You can finish this. Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of y=cos(x) ?
