Answer

$csc(x)$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Let $z=cos(x)$; we have $\frac{dz}{dx}=-sin(x)$ Step 2. Given $y=\int_{cos(x)}^0(\frac{1}{1-t^2})dt=\int_0^{cos(x)}(-\frac{1}{1-t^2})dt=\int_0^{z}(-\frac{1}{1-t^2})dt$ Step 3. Based on the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, we have $\frac{dy}{dz}=(-\frac{1}{1-z^2})$ which leads to $\frac{dy}{dx}=(-\frac{1}{1-z^2})\frac{dz}{dx}=(-\frac{1}{1-(cos(x))^2})(-sin(x))=\frac{sin(x)}{(sin(x))^2}=csc(x)$
