Ok Calculus Product Rule f(x)=secx tanx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can use \((fg)'=f'g+g'f\) with \(f(x)=\sec(x), f'(x)=\sec(x)\tan(x), g(x)=\tan(x), g'(x)=\sec^2(x)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d/dx(sec(x) tan(x)) = sec(x) (tan^2(x)+sec^2(x))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got something completely different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thank you guys for trying !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got secx(sex^2x)= tanx (secxtanx)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's product rule therefore I exchanged the problem with their corresponding identities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your truing to find the derivative right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i'm pretty sure I am math isn't my strongest subject

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You cant write the answer like that then...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the directions say use the product rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea but You have to have f '(x)= blah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so if i put the f(x) then it would be correct ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Watch..
