Find the derivative of tan2x using first principle

Open in App
Solution

Dear student
Let fx=tan2xThen fx+h=tan2x+hBy first principle ,ddxfx=limh0fx+h-fxhddxfx=limh0tan2x+h-tan2xhddxfx=limh0tan2x+2h-tan2xhExpanding using tanA+B=tanA+tanB1-tanAtanBddxfx=limh0tan2x+tan2h1-tan2xtan2h-tan2xhddxfx=limh0tan2x+tan2h-tan2x+tan22x tan2hh1-tan2xtan2hddxfx=limh0tan2h1+tan22xh1-tan2xtan2hNow mutiply and divide by 2 and using 1+tan2x=sec2xddxfx=limh0tan2h 2sec22x2h1-tan2xtan2hConsider tan2h2hddxfx=sin2h2h×1cos2h as tanx=sinxcosxAs h0, sin2h2h=1So, tan2h2h=1cos2hSo we get,ddxfx=limh02sec22xcos2h1-tan2xtan2hAs h0, cos2h=1, tan2h=0ddxfx=2sec22x
