Question

Find y' of y = tan(2x) at x = π/2
Options
A 2
Correct Answer
B 2ln5/5
C -2
D 4
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

y'=2sec²(2x). At x=π/2, 2x=π, so sec²(π)=1/cos²(π)=1. Thus y'=2(1)=2.

Hint

Differentiate tan(2x), then evaluate sec² at the doubled angle.
