Question #00562 Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Monzur R. Aug 12, 2017 #dy/dx=5sec^2x# Explanation: #y=5tanx# We can easily differentiate #tanx# and we don't need to use the chain rule as it's an elementary derivative. #d/dx(5tanx)=5d/dxtanx=5sec^2x# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
