Got this wrong apparently: can someone explain how to get to the correct answer

Just a sec

I actually got: \[\frac{ \pi \tan(\frac{ \pi }{ x }) }{ x^2 }\] Answer says that \(tan(\frac{ \pi }{x})\) is in the denominator

justjm:

The question is \[\frac{ d }{ dx }(\ln|\cos( \frac{ \pi }{ x })|\]

mhchen:

1/(cos(pi/x)) * (cos(pi/x))' = 1/(cos(pi/x)) * (-sin(pi/x)) * (pi/x)' = pi(tan(pi/x)) * (x^2) lol I got the same answer as you.

mhchen:

The textbook is wrong, argue with the teacher and feel proud.
