Differentiate:

x4 tan x


To find: Differentiation of x4 tan x


Formula used: (i) (uv)′ = u′v + uv′ (Leibnitz or product rule)


(ii)


(iii)


Let us take u = x4 and v = tan x




Putting the above obtained values in the formula:-


(uv)′ = u′v + uv′


(x4 tan x)’ = 4x3× tanx + x4× sec2x


= 4x3tanx + x4sec2x


= x3 (4tanx + xsec2x)


Ans) x3 (4tanx + xsec2x)
