Given h(x) = tan x, evaluate dh/dx on [pi/4, 1].
Note: d = delta
I need one or two hints. I can then try on my own.

You'll have to do better than that. Are we required to use the Definition of the Derivative? Is this a Mean Value problem? How does one "evaluate" on a range?RTCNTC said:Given h(x) = tan x, evaluate dh/dx on [pi/4, 1].

tkhunny said:So it is a Mean Value problem. Fair enough.
RTCNTC said:Is it more a rate of change problem?
tkhunny said:Right. An Average Rate of Change, aka Mean Value. Anyway it is done,
Trigonometric expressions are mathematical expressions that involve trigonometric functions, such as sine, cosine, and tangent. These functions relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of its sides.
To evaluate a trigonometric expression, you must substitute the given values for the angles into the expression and use a calculator to find the numerical value of the expression.
The order of operations in evaluating trigonometric expressions is the same as in regular algebraic expressions: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division, and finally addition and subtraction.
Yes, trigonometric expressions can have multiple solutions. This is because trigonometric functions are periodic, meaning they repeat their values after a certain interval. Therefore, an equation involving trigonometric functions may have more than one solution within a given interval.
Trigonometric expressions are used in various fields, such as engineering, physics, and navigation. They can be used to solve problems involving angles, distances, and other measurements in real-life situations. For example, they are used in calculating distances between two points, determining the height of a building, or designing bridges and buildings.
