TopicProduct & Quotient Rules

7 It is given that \(y = \tan 4 x\).
  1. By writing \(\tan 4 x\) as \(\frac { \sin 4 x } { \cos 4 x }\), use the quotient rule to show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = p \left( 1 + \tan ^ { 2 } 4 x \right)\), where \(p\) is a number to be determined.
  2. Show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } } = q y \left( 1 + y ^ { 2 } \right)\), where \(q\) is a number to be determined.
