Solution
The correct option is B−1(1+sinx) Given f(x)=cosx1+sinx
By using Division rule we have derivative as f′(x)=(1+sinx)(cosx)′−(1+sinx)′(cosx)(1+sinx)2 =(1+sinx)(−sinx)−cosx(cosx)(1+sinx)2 =−sinx−sin2x−cos2x(1+sinx)2 =−sinx−(sin2x+cos2x)(1+sinx)2 =−sinx−1(1+sinx)2=−(sinx+1)(1+sinx)2 =−1(1+sinx)
