How do you find the derivative of #g(x)= 3tan4xsin2xcos2x#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Product Rule 1 Answer Tom May 14, 2015 First just remember #sin(a)*cos(a)=1/2sin(2a)# #3/2tan(4x)sin(4x)# #=3/2sin^2(4x)/cos(4x)# Remember #sin^2(a) = 1-cos^2(a)# #3/(2cos(4x))-3/2cos(4x)# #(3/2cos^-1(4x))' = 3/2(cos^-1(4x))' = 6sin(4x)*cos^-2(4x)# #(u^n)'=n*u'*u^(n-1)# #(3/2cos(4x))'=3/2(cos(4x))' = -6sin(4x)# So the result is #=6sin(4x)*cos^-2(4x)+6sin(4x)# #6sin(4x)(cos^-2(4x)+1)# Answer link Related questions What is the Product Rule for derivatives?
