Derivative of tan(2x+3) using first principle

f(x)=\tan(2x+3)

The derivative is given by the limit

f'(x)=\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h

You have

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\tan(2(x+h)+3)-\tan(2x+3)}h
\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\tan((2x+3)+2h)-\tan(2x+3)}h

Use the angle sum identity for tangent. I don't remember it off the top of my head, but I do remember the ones for (co)sine.

\tan(a+b)=\dfrac{\sin(a+b)}{\cos(a+b)}=\dfrac{\sin a\cos b+\cos a\sin b}{\cos a\cos b-\sin a\sin b}=\dfrac{\tan a+\tan b}{1-\tan a\tan b}

By this identity, you have

\tan((2x+3)+2h)=\dfrac{\tan(2x+3)+\tan2h}{1-\tan(2x+3)\tan2h}

So in the limit you get

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\dfrac{\tan(2x+3)+\tan2h}{1-\tan(2x+3)\tan2h}-\tan(2x+3)}h
\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\tan(2x+3)+\tan2h-\tan(2x+3)(1-\tan(2x+3)\tan2h)}{h(1-\tan(2x+3)\tan2h)}
\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\tan2h+\tan^2(2x+3)\tan2h}{h(1-\tan(2x+3)\tan2h)}
\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\tan2h}h\times\lim_{h\to0}\frac{1+\tan^2(2x+3)}{1-\tan(2x+3)\tan2h}
\displaystyle\frac12\lim_{h\to0}\frac1{\cos2h}\times\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\sin2h}{2h}\times\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\sec^2(2x+3)}{1-\tan(2x+3)\tan2h}

The first two limits are both 1, and the single term in the last limit approaches 0 as h\to0, so you're left with

f'(x)=\dfrac12\sec^2(2x+3)

which agrees with the result you get from applying the chain rule.

ms. James has a 6 square foot bulletin board and a 12 square food bulletin board. She wants to cover both boards with index card
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

<em>She need </em><em>72 </em><em>index cards.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. James has a 6 square foot bulletin board and a 12 square food bulletin board and she wants to cover both boards with index cards without gaps or overlaps.

Each index card has an area of \dfrac{1}{4} square foot.

Dividing the area of each board with the area of the index card will yield the the number of cards she needs to cover up completely.

Let us assume T₁ and T₂ are the number of cards she needs to cover 6 square feet food bulletin board and 12 square feet food bulletin board respectively. So

T_1=\dfrac{6}{\frac{1}{4}}=24,\\\\T_2=\dfrac{12}{\frac{1}{4}}=48

Therefore, in total she need 24+48=72 index cards.
