Given,

$f(x)=\frac{x }{\sin ^ n x }$

Now, As we know the derivative of any function

$\frac{d(\frac{y_1}{y_2})}{dx}=\frac{y_2d(\frac{dy_1}{dx})-y_1(\frac{dy_2}{dx})}{y_2^2}$

Also chain rule of derivative,

$[f(g(x))]'=f'(g(x))\times g'(x)$

Hence the derivative of the given function is

$\frac{d(\frac{x}{\sin^nx})}{dx}=\frac{\sin^nxd(\frac{dx}{dx})-x(\frac{d(\sin^nx)}{dx})}{sin^{2n}x}$

$\frac{d(\frac{x}{\sin^nx})}{dx}=\frac{\sin^nx(1)-x(n\sin^{n-1}x\times \cos x)}{sin^{2n}x}$

$\frac{d(\frac{x}{\sin^nx})}{dx}=\frac{\sin^nx-x\cos xn\sin^{n-1}x}{sin^{2n}x}$

$\frac{d(\frac{x}{\sin^nx})}{dx}=\frac{\sin^nx-x\cos xn\sin^{n-1}x}{sin^{2n}x}$

$\frac{d(\frac{x}{\sin^nx})}{dx}=\frac{\sin^{n-1}x(\sin x-nx\cos x)}{sin^{2n}x}$

$\frac{d(\frac{x}{\sin^nx})}{dx}=\frac{(\sin x-nx\cos x)}{sin^{n+1}x}$
