Expert Solution
Step 1

The given function f(w) is,

f(w)=ln(cos(w-5))

The derivative of the function f(w) is represented by f'(w).

The given function contains two functions, thus during differentiation after differentiating the main function (logarithmic function), the result is multiplied with the differential of the inner function (cosine function)

Thus, the derivative or f'(w) of the function by is given by:

f'(w)=df(w)dw=d(ln(cos(w-5))dw=1cos(w-5)×dcos(w-5)dw=1cos(w-5)×-sin(w-5)=-tan(w-5)
