To derive the function $\tan\left(x+1\right)$, use the method of logarithmic differentiation. First, assign the function to $y$, then take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation
$y=\tan\left(x+1\right)$

Apply natural logarithm to both sides of the equality
The derivative of the natural logarithm of a function is equal to the derivative of the function divided by that function. If $f(x)=ln\:a$ (where $a$ is a function of $x$), then $\displaystyle f'(x)=\frac{a'}{a}$
The derivative of the tangent of a function is equal to secant squared of that function times the derivative of that function, in other words, if ${f(x) = tan(x)}$, then ${f'(x) = sec^2(x)\cdot D_x(x)}$
Solving a math problem using different methods is important because it enhances understanding, encourages critical thinking, allows for multiple solutions, and develops problem-solving strategies. Read more
