tan(x)*(x - 4)
Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ; to find :

    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:

    ; to find :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      The result is:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
/       2   \                 
\1 + tan (x)/*(x - 4) + tan(x)
$$\left(x - 4\right) \left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) + \tan{\left(x \right)}$$
The second derivative [src]
  /       2      /       2   \                \
2*\1 + tan (x) + \1 + tan (x)/*(-4 + x)*tan(x)/
$$2 \left(\left(x - 4\right) \left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \tan{\left(x \right)} + \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
  /       2   \ /           /         2   \         \
2*\1 + tan (x)/*\3*tan(x) + \1 + 3*tan (x)/*(-4 + x)/
$$2 \left(\left(x - 4\right) \left(3 \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) + 3 \tan{\left(x \right)}\right) \left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right)$$
