Derivative of tan(x)*(x-4)

1. Apply the product rule:

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

   $f{\left(x \right)} = \tan{\left(x \right)}$; to find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$:

   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:

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

   $g{\left(x \right)} = x - 4$; to find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$:

   1. Differentiate $x - 4$ term by term:

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

      2. The derivative of the constant $-4$ is zero.

      The result is: $1$

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

2. Now simplify:

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

The answer is:

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