ln ( sin 2 x ) = ln ( ( sin x ) 2 ) = 2 ln ( sin x )
Next, we use d d x ( ln u ) = 1 u d u d x , to get
d d x ( ln ( sin 2 x ) ) = 2 d d x ( ln ( sin x ) )
= 2 ( 1 sin x ) d d x ( sin x )
= 2 ( 1 sin x ) ( cos x )
Hence, answer is = 2 cot x

y = ln ( ( sin x ) 2 )
Which means that:
e y = ( sin x ) 2
Use implicit differentiation on the left hand side of the equation and the chain rule on the right hand side of the equation:
e y d y d x = 2 sin x cos x
Divide expressions on both sides of the equation by e y :
d y d x = 2 sin x cos x e y
Don't forget that e y is ( sin x ) 2 :
d y d x = 2 sin x cos x sin x sin x
Simplify the fraction above:
d y d x = 2 cos x sin x
cos x sin x is cot x:
d y d x = 2 cot x
