Identify Function: Identify the function to differentiate.We are given the function f(x)=2tan(x) and we need to find its derivative, which is denoted by f′(x).
Apply Rule: Apply the derivative rule for the tangent function.The derivative of tan(x) with respect to x is sec2(x). Therefore, the derivative of 2tan(x) is 2 times the derivative of tan(x).
Calculate Derivative: Calculate the derivative.Using the rule from Step 2, we find that f′(x)=2⋅sec2(x).
