tan(3*x)
Detail solution
  1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:

    tan(3x)=sin(3x)cos(3x)\tan{\left(3 x \right)} = \frac{\sin{\left(3 x \right)}}{\cos{\left(3 x \right)}}

  2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)g2(x)\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(x)=sin(3x)f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(3 x \right)} and g(x)=cos(3x)g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(3 x \right)}.

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

    1. Let u=3xu = 3 x.

    2. The derivative of sine is cosine:

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

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx3x\frac{d}{d x} 3 x:

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

        1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

        So, the result is: 33

      The result of the chain rule is:

      3cos(3x)3 \cos{\left(3 x \right)}

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

    1. Let u=3xu = 3 x.

    2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

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

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx3x\frac{d}{d x} 3 x:

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

        1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

        So, the result is: 33

      The result of the chain rule is:

      3sin(3x)- 3 \sin{\left(3 x \right)}

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

    3sin2(3x)+3cos2(3x)cos2(3x)\frac{3 \sin^{2}{\left(3 x \right)} + 3 \cos^{2}{\left(3 x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(3 x \right)}}

  3. Now simplify:

    3cos2(3x)\frac{3}{\cos^{2}{\left(3 x \right)}}


The answer is:

3cos2(3x)\frac{3}{\cos^{2}{\left(3 x \right)}}
