Hey there.

Could anyone please supply step by step instructions on how to deferentiate this problem (tan^2x).

Where..

tan^2x = 2*tanx*sec^2x


thanks

Don't worry yall.



1. tanx*tanx

2. u = tanx du/dx = sec^2x
v = tanx dv/dx = sec^2x

3. Use product rule where:

d(uv)/dx = u*(dv/dx) + v*(du/dx)
= tanx*sec^2x + tanx*sec^2x
= 2*tanx*sec^2x
