Question
(a) If \(f(x)=4 x-\tan x,-\pi / 2<x<\pi / 2\), find \(f^{\prime}\) and \(f^{\prime \prime}\).
(b) Check to see that your answers to part (a) are reasonable by comparing the graphs of f, \(f^{\prime}\), and \(f^{\prime \prime}\).
Solution
The first step in solving 3 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) If \(f(x)=4 x-\tan x,-\pi / 2<x<\pi / 2\), find \(f^{\prime}\) and \(f^{\prime \prime}\).(b) Check to see that your answers to part (a) are reasonable by comparing the graphs of f, \(f^{\prime}\), and \(f^{\prime \prime}\).
From the textbook chapter Differentiation Rules you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
