Math Problem Statement

Derivative

Find the derivative of F(t) = 2sin(3t + tan(t)).

Solution

To find the derivative of the function given in the image:

F(t)=2sin(3t+tan(t))F(t) = 2 \sin(3t + \tan(t))

we'll proceed as follows:

Step 1: Differentiate Using the Chain Rule

Since F(t)=2sin(3t+tan(t))F(t) = 2 \sin(3t + \tan(t)), we can apply the chain rule. Let: u=3t+tan(t)u = 3t + \tan(t) then, F(t)=2sin(u)F(t) = 2 \sin(u)

The derivative of F(t)F(t) with respect to tt is: F(t)=2cos(u)dudtF'(t) = 2 \cos(u) \cdot \frac{du}{dt}

Step 2: Differentiate u=3t+tan(t)u = 3t + \tan(t)

Now, differentiate u=3t+tan(t)u = 3t + \tan(t) with respect to tt: dudt=3+sec2(t)\frac{du}{dt} = 3 + \sec^2(t)

Step 3: Substitute uu and dudt\frac{du}{dt} into F(t)F'(t)

Now, substitute u=3t+tan(t)u = 3t + \tan(t) and dudt=3+sec2(t)\frac{du}{dt} = 3 + \sec^2(t) into the derivative: F(t)=2cos(3t+tan(t))(3+sec2(t))F'(t) = 2 \cos(3t + \tan(t)) \cdot (3 + \sec^2(t))

Final Answer

The derivative of F(t)F(t) is: F(t)=2cos(3t+tan(t))(3+sec2(t))F'(t) = 2 \cos(3t + \tan(t)) \cdot (3 + \sec^2(t))
