To determine
To find:
f' in terms of g'
Answer
f'x=g'(tan x) (sec2x)2x
Explanation
Differentiate by using differentiation rules
1) Formula:
(i) Chain rule:
ddx(fgx=f'gx*g'(x)
(ii) Trigonometric rule:
ddxtanx=sec2x
(iii) Power rule:
ddxxn=n*xn-1
2) Given:
fx=g(tanx)
3) Calculation:
Consider the function fx=g(tanx)
Differentiate the function with respect to x,
f'x=ddx(g(tanx))
By using chain rule,
f'x=g'(tan x) ddx(tanx)
By using trigonometric rule and chain rule,
f'x=g'(tan x) (sec2x)ddx(x)
By using power rule,
f'x=g'(tan x) (sec2x)(12x)
Therefore,
f'x=g'(tan x) (sec2x)2x
Conclusion:
f'x=g'(tan x) (sec2x)2x
