Question

Find the second derivative of y = e^(tanx) with respect to x
Options
A e^(tanx)sec²x(sec²x+2tanx)
Correct Answer
B e^(tanx)sec²x(secx+2tanx)
C e^(tanx)(sec²x+2tanx)
D e^(tanx)sec²x
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

y'=e^(tanx)sec²x. Differentiating again with the product rule: y''=e^(tanx)sec²x·sec²x + e^(tanx)·2sec²x tanx = e^(tanx)sec²x(sec²x+2tanx).

Hint

Differentiate once to get y'=e^(tanx)sec²x, then apply the product rule for the second derivative.
