Answer

$y'=x \csc \frac{2}{x}+csc (\frac{2}{x}) cot ( \frac{2}{x})$

Work Step by Step

Given that $y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2 \csc \frac{2}{x}$ Apply derivative rules of differentiation: $f(x)=p'(x)q(x)+p(x)q'(x)$ $y'=\dfrac{d}{dx}[\dfrac{1}{2}x^2 \csc \frac{2}{x}]$ $=\dfrac{2x}{2} \csc \frac{2}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(-csc \frac{2}{x} cot \frac{2}{x}\dfrac{d}{dx}\frac{2}{x})$ $=x \csc \frac{2}{x}+2(\dfrac{1}{2})csc (\frac{2}{x}) cot ( \frac{2}{x})$ Hence, $y'=x \csc \frac{2}{x}+csc (\frac{2}{x}) cot ( \frac{2}{x})$
