Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)\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(x)=xf{\left(x \right)} = x; to find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

    g(x)=tan3(x)g{\left(x \right)} = \tan^{3}{\left(x \right)}; to find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Let u=tan(x)u = \tan{\left(x \right)}.

    2. Apply the power rule: u3u^{3} goes to 3u23 u^{2}

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddxtan(x)\frac{d}{d x} \tan{\left(x \right)}:

      1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:

        tan(x)=sin(x)cos(x)\tan{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos{\left(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(x)f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(x \right)} and g(x)=cos(x)g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}.

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

        1. The derivative of sine is cosine:

          ddxsin(x)=cos(x)\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}

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

        1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

          ddxcos(x)=sin(x)\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}

        Now plug in to the quotient rule:

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

      The result of the chain rule is:

      3(sin2(x)+cos2(x))tan2(x)cos2(x)\frac{3 \left(\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}

    The result is: 3x(sin2(x)+cos2(x))tan2(x)cos2(x)+tan3(x)\frac{3 x \left(\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}} + \tan^{3}{\left(x \right)}

  2. Now simplify:

    3xsin2(x)cos4(x)+tan3(x)\frac{3 x \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{4}{\left(x \right)}} + \tan^{3}{\left(x \right)}


The answer is:

3xsin2(x)cos4(x)+tan3(x)\frac{3 x \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{4}{\left(x \right)}} + \tan^{3}{\left(x \right)}
