Detail solution

Let $u = \tan{\left(x \right)}$ .
Apply the power rule: $u^{2}$ goes to $2 u$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \tan{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
  
  $\tan{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos{\left(x \right)}}$
2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:
  
  $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
  
  $f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(x \right)}$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
  
  To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
  1. The derivative of sine is cosine:
    
    $\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$
  To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
  1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
    
    $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}$
  Now plug in to the quotient rule:
  
  $\frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
The result of the chain rule is:

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

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

The answer is:

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