derivative of

- tan^{2} (x)

- 2 tan (x) sec^{2} (x)

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (- tan^{2} (x))

Take the constant out:

(a \cdot f)^{'} = a \cdot f^{'}

= - \frac{d}{d x} (tan^{2} (x))

Apply the chain rule:

2 tan (x) \frac{d}{d x} (tan (x))

= 2 tan (x) \frac{d}{d x} (tan (x))

\frac{d}{d x} (tan (x)) = sec^{2} (x)

= - 2 tan (x) sec^{2} (x)
