The question is as follows:
Find [tex] \frac{dy}{dx} \; \; \; xtanx \; \; \; dx [/tex]
The standard differential is given in the formula book as
[tex] f(x) = \tan kx \Rightarrow f'(x) = k\sec^2 kx [/tex]
Therefore, I got:
[tex] \frac{dy}{dx} = x \sec^2 x [/tex]
However, the answer given is
[tex] \tan x + x \sec^2 x [/tex]
I can't see where I've gone wrong, it seems like such a simple differential. Any help would be much appreciated.
