tan(x) - 2*cos(x)
$$- 2 \cos{\left(x \right)} + \tan{\left(x \right)}$$
Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:

    2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

      and .

      To find :

      1. The derivative of sine is cosine:

      To find :

      1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

      Now plug in to the quotient rule:

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

      1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

      So, the result is:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
       2              
1 + tan (x) + 2*sin(x)
$$2 \sin{\left(x \right)} + \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1$$
The second derivative [src]
  //       2   \                \
2*\\1 + tan (x)/*tan(x) + cos(x)/
$$2 \left(\left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \tan{\left(x \right)} + \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
  /             2                                   \
  |/       2   \                  2    /       2   \|
2*\\1 + tan (x)/  - sin(x) + 2*tan (x)*\1 + tan (x)//
$$2 \left(\left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right)^{2} + 2 \left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} - \sin{\left(x \right)}\right)$$
