Derivative of tan(2*x)+4/(x-2)

1. Differentiate $\tan{\left(2 x \right)} + \frac{4}{x - 2}$ term by term:

   1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:

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

   2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

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

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

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

      1. Let $u = 2 x$.

      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 $\frac{d}{d x} 2 x$:

         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: $2$

         The result of the chain rule is:

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

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

      1. Let $u = 2 x$.

      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 $\frac{d}{d x} 2 x$:

         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: $2$

         The result of the chain rule is:

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

      Now plug in to the quotient rule:

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

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

      1. Let $u = x - 2$.

      2. Apply the power rule: $\frac{1}{u}$ goes to $- \frac{1}{u^{2}}$

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

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

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

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

            The result is: $1$

         The result of the chain rule is:

         $$- \frac{1}{\left(x - 2\right)^{2}}$$

      So, the result is: $- \frac{4}{\left(x - 2\right)^{2}}$

   The result is: $\frac{2 \sin^{2}{\left(2 x \right)} + 2 \cos^{2}{\left(2 x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(2 x \right)}} - \frac{4}{\left(x - 2\right)^{2}}$

2. Now simplify:

   $$\frac{2}{\cos^{2}{\left(2 x \right)}} - \frac{4}{\left(x - 2\right)^{2}}$$

The answer is:

$$\frac{2}{\cos^{2}{\left(2 x \right)}} - \frac{4}{\left(x - 2\right)^{2}}$$
