\begin{align*}\displaystyle

didn't get the arctan ?

Let's define the following:

\(\displaystyle u(x)=4x^3\)

\(\displaystyle v(x)=\arctan(u(x))\)

And so we have:

\(\displaystyle y(x)=\ln(v(x))\)

Hence:

\(\displaystyle \d{y}{x}=\frac{1}{v(x)}\d{v}{x}\)

Now, we may write:

\(\displaystyle \tan(v(x))=u(x)\)

What do you get when you implicitly differentiate w.r.t $x$?

 

[karush]

what is

w.r.t

 

[HallsofIvy]

what is

w.r.t

"With respect to".

"What do you get when you implicitly differentiate with respect to x?"

 

[MarkFL]

this?

$\frac{1}{\arctan\left(4x^3\right)}\cdot \frac{d}{dx}\arctan\left(4x^3\right)$

I was referring to the implicit differentiation of:

\(\displaystyle \tan(v(x))=u(x)\)

:D

I was referring to the implicit differentiation of:

\(\displaystyle \tan(v(x))=u(x)\)

:D

\(\displaystyle \tan(v(x))=u(x)\)\(\displaystyle \d{v}{x}\tan(v(x))=\d{u}{x}u(x)=12x^2\)

 

[MarkFL]

\(\displaystyle \tan(v(x))=u(x)\)\(\displaystyle \d{v}{x}\tan(v(x))=\d{u}{x}u(x)=12x^2\)

Recall:

\(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\left(\tan(v(x))\right)=\sec^2(v(x))\d{v}{x}\)
