  1. A \(-\cot x\)
  2. B \(\cot x\)
  3. C \(\tan x\)
  4. D \(-\tan x\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-\cot x\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let
\(u=\cos ^{3} x, v=\sin ^{3} x \)
\( \frac{d u}{d x}=-3 \cos ^{2} x \sin x, \frac{d v}{d x}=3 \sin ^{2} x \cos x \)
\( \text { Now, } \frac{d u}{d v} =\frac{-3 \cos ^{2} x \sin x}{3 \sin ^{2} x \cos x} \)
\( =-\frac{\cos x}{\sin x} \)
\(=-\cot x\)
