Differentiate the following functions with respect to x :

Let $y=\log \left(\frac{\sin x}{1+\cos x}\right)$

$\Rightarrow y=\log \left(\frac{\sin 2 \times \frac{x}{2}}{1+\cos 2 \times \frac{x}{2}}\right)$

We have $\sin 2 \theta=2 \sin \theta \cos \theta$ and $1+\cos 2 \theta=2 \cos ^{2} \theta$

$\Rightarrow y=\log \left(\frac{2 \sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2}}{2 \cos ^{2} \frac{x}{2}}\right)$

$\Rightarrow y=\log \left(\frac{\sin \frac{x}{2}}{\cos \frac{x}{2}}\right)$

$\Rightarrow y=\log \left(\tan \frac{x}{2}\right)$

On differentiating y with respect to $x$, we get

$\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d}{d x}\left[\log \left(\tan \frac{x}{2}\right)\right]$

We know $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}(\log \mathrm{x})=\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\left(\frac{1}{\tan \frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}}\right) \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\left(\tan \frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}\right)$ [using chain rule]

$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\cot \frac{\mathrm{x}}{2} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\left(\tan \frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}\right)$

We have $\frac{d}{d x}(\tan x)=\sec ^{2} x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\cot \frac{x}{2} \sec ^{2} \frac{x}{2} \frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)$
