I am not sure how you would approach this using the chain rule, but I can use the quotient rule.
The derivative of cos (u) = - sin (u)
The derivative of sin (u) = cos (u)
The quotient rule states:
[f' (x) g (x) - f (x) g' (x) ] / [g (x) ]^2
f' (x) = - sin (x)
g (x) = [1+sin (x) ]
f (x) = cos (x)
g' (x) = cos (x)
Plug in:
[-sin (x) * [1+sin (x) ] - [cos (x) * cos (x) ] / (1+sin (x)) ^2
Simplify by distributing
-sin (x) - sin^2 (x) - [cos (x) * cos (x) ] / (1+sin (x)) ^2
Multiply the cos (x) * cos (x)
-sin (x) - sin^2 (x) - cos^2 (x) / (1+sin (x)) ^2
That is the answer or the answer could be simplified further by pulling out the negative.
- [sin (x) + sin^2 (x) + cos^2 (x) ] / (1+sin (x)) ^2
