dx d ​ [2sec 2 (x)tan(x)+sin(x)]

Solution

The expression you've provided seems to be the derivative of the function:

ddx[2sec2(x)tan(x)+sin(x)]\frac{d}{dx} \left[ 2 \sec^2(x) \tan(x) + \sin(x) \right]

Let’s compute this derivative step by step.

1. Differentiate 2sec2(x)tan(x)2 \sec^2(x) \tan(x)

We'll use the product rule for differentiation. The product rule states that if we have two functions u(x)u(x) and v(x)v(x), then:

ddx[u(x)v(x)]=u(x)v(x)+u(x)v(x)\frac{d}{dx} [u(x)v(x)] = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x)

Here, u(x)=2sec2(x)u(x) = 2 \sec^2(x) and v(x)=tan(x)v(x) = \tan(x).

  • The derivative of u(x)=2sec2(x)u(x) = 2 \sec^2(x) is:

    u(x)=22sec2(x)tan(x)=4sec2(x)tan(x)u'(x) = 2 \cdot 2 \sec^2(x) \tan(x) = 4 \sec^2(x) \tan(x)

  • The derivative of v(x)=tan(x)v(x) = \tan(x) is:

    v(x)=sec2(x)v'(x) = \sec^2(x)

Using the product rule:

ddx[2sec2(x)tan(x)]=4sec2(x)tan2(x)+2sec4(x)\frac{d}{dx} \left[ 2 \sec^2(x) \tan(x) \right] = 4 \sec^2(x) \tan^2(x) + 2 \sec^4(x)

2. Differentiate sin(x)\sin(x)

The derivative of sin(x)\sin(x) is:

ddx[sin(x)]=cos(x)\frac{d}{dx} \left[ \sin(x) \right] = \cos(x)

3. Combine the results

Now, putting everything together:

ddx[2sec2(x)tan(x)+sin(x)]=4sec2(x)tan2(x)+2sec4(x)+cos(x)\frac{d}{dx} \left[ 2 \sec^2(x) \tan(x) + \sin(x) \right] = 4 \sec^2(x) \tan^2(x) + 2 \sec^4(x) + \cos(x)

Thus, the derivative is:

4sec2(x)tan2(x)+2sec4(x)+cos(x)\boxed{4 \sec^2(x) \tan^2(x) + 2 \sec^4(x) + \cos(x)}
