Homework Statement



Derive the following:
f(x)= (2+3sinx)(4+5cosx)tanx



2. The attempt at a solution
I derive it and got
f'(x)=(4+5)tanx(3cosx)+(2+3sinx)(tanx(-5sinx)+sec2x(4+5cosx))

Can someone confirm if this is right?

Correct, good work
 
Thanks!
I put it first on WolframAlpha to compare, but it does the product rule the other way I did so I didnt felt like simplifying.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
