derivative of

y = arctan (cos (x))

- \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x ) + 1}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (arctan (cos (x)))

Apply the chain rule:

\frac{1}{( cos ( x ) ) ^{2} + 1} \frac{d}{d x} (cos (x))

= \frac{1}{( cos ( x ) ) ^{2} + 1} \frac{d}{d x} (cos (x))

\frac{d}{d x} (cos (x)) = - sin (x)

= \frac{1}{( cos ( x ) ) ^{2} + 1} (- sin (x))

Simplify

\frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( x ) + 1} (- sin (x)) : - \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x ) + 1}

= - \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x ) + 1}
