#f'(x) =( 2e^(4x)sec^2e^(4x))/sqrt(tane^(4x)#
Explanation:
making use of the chain rule
# d/dx(f(g(x)) = f'(g(x)).g'(x)# and knowing
# d/dx(tanx) = sec^2xcolor(black)(" and ") d/dx(e^x) = e^x# first step is to rewrite
#sqrt(tane^(4x)) = (tane^(4x))^(1/2) #
# f'(x) = 1/2(tane^(4x))^(-1/2) d/dx(tane^(4x)) # now
# d/dx(tane^(4x)) = sec^2e^(4x) d/dx(e^(4x)).............(1)# and
#d/dx(e^(4x)) = e^(4x) d/dx(4x) = 4e^(4x)................(2) # replacing the results of (1) and (2) back into f'(x)
#f'(x) = 1/2(tane^(4x))^(-1/2) . sec^2e^(4x) . 4e^(4x) # and rewriting negative exponent as radical
# rArr f'(x) =( 2e^(4x)sec^2e^(4x))/sqrt(tane^(4x) #
