Question

What expression represents d/dx[ln(tanx)]?
Options
A sec²x
B secxcosecx
Correct Answer
C secxtanx
D ln(secx+tanx)
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

d/dx[ln(tanx)] = sec²x/tanx = 1/(sinx cosx) = secx·cosecx.

Hint

Use d/dx[ln u]=u'/u with u=tan x, then simplify the resulting trig ratio.
