Answer

$$g'\left( x \right) = - \cos x - \cot x\csc x$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & g\left( x \right) = \left( {\cos x} \right)\left( {\cot x} \right) \cr & {\text{Differentiate}} \cr & g'\left( x \right) = \frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {\left( {\cos x} \right)\left( {\cot x} \right)} \right] \cr & {\text{By the product rule}} \cr & g'\left( x \right) = \cot x\left[ {\cos x} \right]' + \cos x\left[ {\cot x} \right]' \cr & g'\left( x \right) = \cot x\left( { - \sin x} \right) + \cos x\left( { - {{\csc }^2}x} \right) \cr & {\text{Simplifying}} \cr & g'\left( x \right) = \left( {\frac{{\cos x}}{{\sin x}}} \right)\left( { - \sin x} \right) + \cos x\left( { - \frac{1}{{{{\sin }^2}x}}} \right) \cr & g'\left( x \right) = - \cos x - \cot x\csc x \cr} $$
