Step 1. Identify u=sin⁡xu = \sin x, v=1+cos⁡xv = 1+\cos x, so u′=cos⁡xu' = \cos x, v′=−sin⁡xv' = -\sin x.

Step 2. Apply the quotient rule: y′=cos⁡x(1+cos⁡x)−sin⁡x(−sin⁡x)(1+cos⁡x)2=cos⁡x+cos⁡2x+sin⁡2x(1+cos⁡x)2y' = \dfrac{\cos x(1+\cos x) - \sin x(-\sin x)}{(1+\cos x)^2} = \dfrac{\cos x + \cos^2 x + \sin^2 x}{(1+\cos x)^2}.

Step 3. Use sin⁡2x+cos⁡2x=1\sin^2x + \cos^2x = 1: numerator becomes cos⁡x+1\cos x + 1. …
