What is the derivative of cot2 x?

The given function is \(\begin{array}{l}\frac{d}{dx}\left(cot^2x\right)\\ =2\cot \left(x\right)\frac{d}{dx}\left(\cot \left(x\right)\right)\\ =2\cot \left(x\right)\left(-\csc ^2\left(x\right)\right)\\ =-2\csc ^2\left(x\right)\cot \left(x\right)\end{array} \)

Find the derivative of [ln (tan x)]2.

The given function is \(\begin{array}{l}\frac{d}{dx}\left(ln\left(tan\:x\right)\right)^2\\ =2\ln \left(\tan \left(x\right)\right)\frac{d}{dx}\left(\ln \left(\tan \left(x\right)\right)\right)\\ =2\ln \left(\tan \left(x\right)\right)\cdot \:2\csc \left(2x\right)\\ =4\ln \left(\tan \left(x\right)\right)\csc \left(2x\right)\end{array} \)
