What is the derivative of tan^4(x)tan4(x)? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Derivative Rules for y=cos(x) and y=tan(x) 1 Answer Gió Apr 2, 2015 I would use the Chain Rule, deriving ()^4()4 first and then tantan as: 4tan^3(x)*1/cos^2(x)=4sin^3(x)/cos^5(x)4tan3(x)⋅1cos2(x)=4sin3(x)cos5(x) Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of y=cos(x)y=cos(x) ?
