Derivative for tan(x)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maksim231197 [3]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  • sec² (x)

Explanation:

Use the trigonometric ratio definition of the tangent function and the quotient rule.

  • tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x)

Quotient rule: the derivative of a quotient is:

  • [the denominator × the derivative of the numerator less the numerator × the derivative of the denominator] / [denominator]²

  • (f/g)' = [ g×f' - f×g'] / g²

So,

  • tan(x)' = [ sin(x) / cos(x)]'
  • [ sin(x) / cos(x)]' = [ cos(x) sin(x)' - sin(x) cos(x)' ] / [cos(x)]²

                                   = [ cos(x)cos(x) + sin(x) sin(x) ] / [ cos(x)]²

                                   = [ cos²(x) + sin²(x) ] / cos²(x)

                                   = 1 / cos² (x)

                                   = sec² (x)

The result is that the derivative of tan(x) is sec² (x)

Which is a physical property of a gas?
Alexxandr [17]
Physical property of gas: There are a lot, here are some examples: => Air => Oxygen => Carbon dioxide => Flourine => Phosphine => Argon => Carbon monoxide This examples are all gases and each of these gases has its own physical property. The only thing that they makes them the same are that, they are gas with lesser molecules. Usually gas density is lesser compare to the solid or liquid and most gases has undefined melting point.

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does an atom with atomic number
sergey [27]

Answer:

protons : 10

electron : 10

neutron : 10

Explanation:

Protons will usually be the same as the electrons when its a <u>Atom</u> (when its a ion or covalent bond or simple bond they will most likely be different)

the atomic number represents protons and electrons

the mass number - the atomic number = neutron
