Derivative of lntg(2x+1)/4

1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

   1. Let $u = \tan{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}$.

   2. The derivative of $\log{\left(u \right)}$ is $\frac{1}{u}$.

   3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \tan{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}$:

      1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:

         $$\tan{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} = \frac{\sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{\cos{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}$$

      2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

         $$\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$$

         $f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}$.

         To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$:

         1. Let $u = 2 x + 1$.

         2. The derivative of sine is cosine:

            $$\frac{d}{d u} \sin{\left(u \right)} = \cos{\left(u \right)}$$

         3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(2 x + 1\right)$:

            1. Differentiate $2 x + 1$ term by term:

               1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

                  1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

                  So, the result is: $2$

               2. The derivative of the constant $1$ is zero.

               The result is: $2$

            The result of the chain rule is:

            $$2 \cos{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}$$

         To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$:

         1. Let $u = 2 x + 1$.

         2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

            $$\frac{d}{d u} \cos{\left(u \right)} = - \sin{\left(u \right)}$$

         3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(2 x + 1\right)$:

            1. Differentiate $2 x + 1$ term by term:

               1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

                  1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

                  So, the result is: $2$

               2. The derivative of the constant $1$ is zero.

               The result is: $2$

            The result of the chain rule is:

            $$- 2 \sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}$$

         Now plug in to the quotient rule:

         $\frac{2 \sin^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} + 2 \cos^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}$

      The result of the chain rule is:

      $$\frac{2 \sin^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} + 2 \cos^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} \tan{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}$$

   So, the result is: $\frac{2 \sin^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} + 2 \cos^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}{4 \cos^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} \tan{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}$

2. Now simplify:

   $$\frac{1}{2 \cos^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} \tan{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}$$

The answer is:

$$\frac{1}{2 \cos^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} \tan{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}}$$
