HELP!! Differentiate,check my answer please!
\[y=\frac{xtanx}{secx+tanx} find \frac{dy}{dx}\]
I'm getting, \[secx+tanx({xsec^{2}x+tanx+xtanx(secxtanx+tanx)}\]
@hba
use the formula for the derivative of (u/v)= (vdu-udv)/v^2
if we use that formula y=xtanx/(sec x+tan x) dy/dx= =[(sec x+tan x)(x sec^2 x+tan x)-(x tan x)(sec x tan x+sec^2 x)]/(sec x +tan x)^2 continue further until you cancel out the denominator the denominator would be sec x+tan x
its the same i wrote or different?
different dydx= =[(sec x+tan x)(x sec^2 x+tan x)-(x tan x)(sec x tan x+sec^2 x)]/(sec x +tan x)^2 =[(sec x+tan x)(x sec^2 x+tan x)-x(sec x tan^2 x+ sec^2 x tan x)]/(sec x +tan x)^2 =[(sec x+tan x)(x sec^2 x+tan x)-x(sec x tan x)(tan x+ sec x )]/(sec x +tan x)^2 now try to factor out or cancel out sec x+tanx
