easy way:
sin2x/cos2x = tan2x
so the derivative is just
2sec^2(2x)
hard way, using the quotient rule:
[2cos(2x)cos(2x) - sin(2x)(-2sin(2x))]/cos^2(2x)
2(cos^2(2x)+sin^2(2x))/cos^2(2x)
2/cos^2(2x)
2sec^2(2x)
sin2x/cos2x = tan2x
so the derivative is just
2sec^2(2x)
hard way, using the quotient rule:
[2cos(2x)cos(2x) - sin(2x)(-2sin(2x))]/cos^2(2x)
2(cos^2(2x)+sin^2(2x))/cos^2(2x)
2/cos^2(2x)
2sec^2(2x)
