Write tan(3x) in terms of tan(x). Hence show that the roots of t^3 - 3t^2 - 3t + 1 = 0 are tan(pi/12), tan(5pi/12) and tan(3pi/4)

The first part is relatively simple.  If we write tan(3x) as tan(2x+x) we can use addition formulae to give:

tan(2x+x)= (tan(2x)+tan(x))/(1-tan(2x)tan(x))

tan(2x) = 2tan(x)/...

differentiate y = (4-x)^2

This is a basic example of a very important result: the chain rule. The difficulty of this sort of example is that we have a "function of a function". That is, we have the function '4-x' and ...

Differentiate y=e^(x^2+2x)

For this question the chain rule should be used, the chain rule is that dy/du*du/dx=dy/dx.

If we say u=(x2+2x) and therefore y=eu

Then du/dx=2x+2 and d...

if y = (e^x)^7 find dy/dx

To solve the the problem we need to recognize what type of differentiation technique we shall be employing

y = (ex)7
