Type any function of x; the derivative is computed symbolically in your browser.
How to work it out
- 1
We differentiate with respect to x. The rule that applies is the product rule.

\[ f(x) = \tan\left(x\right) \ln\left(x\right) \]
\[ u = \tan\left(x\right),\quad v = \ln\left(x\right) \]
\[ u' = \frac{1}{\cos\left(x\right)^{2}},\quad v' = \frac{1}{x} \]

\[ f'(x) = \frac{\ln\left(x\right)}{\cos\left(x\right)^{2}} + \tan\left(x\right) \frac{1}{x} \]
\[ f''(x) = \frac{\frac{\cos\left(x\right)^{2}}{x} - \ln\left(x\right) 2 \cos\left(x\right) -\sin\left(x\right)}{\left(\cos\left(x\right)^{2}\right)^{2}} + \frac{\frac{1}{x}}{\cos\left(x\right)^{2}} + \tan\left(x\right) \frac{-1}{x^{2}} \]Values of f and f' for tan(x) * ln(x)
