$x \tan (y)$

Step 1

This derivative could not be completed using the chain rule. Mathway will use another method.

Step 2

Since $\tan (y)$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $x \tan (y)$ with respect to $x$ is $\tan (y) \frac{d}{d x} [x]$ .

$\tan (y) \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 3

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$\tan (y) \cdot 1$

Step 4

Multiply $\tan (y)$ by $1$ .

$\tan (y)$
