Differentiate with respect to x:tan 3x

Answer»

Chain rule:

If y = f(t) and t = g(x) then dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx

Let y = tan 3x

If t = 3x then tan 3x = tan t or y = tan t

dy/dt = sec2 t

dt/dx = 3

Now,

dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx = 3 sec2 t

Substituting the value of t back, we get

dy/dx = 3sec2 3x
