Q. Let g(x)=etan(x).Find g′(x).Choose 1 answer:(A) esec2(x)(B) etan(x)(C) etan(x)sec2(x)(D) tan(x)etan(x)−1
Identify Functions: We need to find the derivative of the function g(x)=etan(x). To do this, we will use the chain rule, which states that the derivative of a composite function is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function times the derivative of the inner function.
Derivative of Outer Function: First, let's identify the outer and inner functions. The outer function is eu, where u is the inner function. The inner function is tan(x).
Derivative of Inner Function: Now, we take the derivative of the outer function with respect to the inner function. The derivative of eu with respect to u is eu. dud(eu)=eu
Apply Chain Rule: Next, we take the derivative of the inner function tan(x) with respect to x. The derivative of tan(x) is sec2(x).(dxd)(tan(x))=sec2(x)
Match with Options: Applying the chain rule, we multiply the derivative of the outer function by the derivative of the inner function.g′(x)=dud(eu)⋅dxd(tan(x))g′(x)=etan(x)⋅sec2(x)
Match with Options: Applying the chain rule, we multiply the derivative of the outer function by the derivative of the inner function.g′(x)=dud(eu)⋅dxd(tan(x))g′(x)=etan(x)⋅sec2(x)We can now match our result with the given options. The correct answer is:g′(x)=etan(x)⋅sec2(x)This corresponds to option (C).
