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

(2*sin(x))/cos(x)

Detail solution

Apply the quotient rule, which is:

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

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

To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
  1. The derivative of sine is cosine:
    
    $\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$
  So, the result is: $2 \cos{\left(x \right)}$
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:

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

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

The answer is:

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