derivative of f(x)= xtanx

OpenStudy (raden):

use the product rule if y = uv then y ' = vu' + uv'

OpenStudy (raden):

let u = x ---> u' = 1 v = tan(x) ---> v' = sec^2 (x) now, aplly them to formula above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be tan(x)+ sec^2(x) (x)?

OpenStudy (raden):

yes or it can be modificated again use the identity : sec^2 (x) = tan^2 (x) + 1 tan(x)+ sec^2(x) (x) = tan(x)+ (tan^2(x) + 1) (x) = xtan^2 (x) + tan(x) + x
