Answer

$v^{\prime}(x)= (2.2x^{1.2}+1.2) \sec^2 (x^{2.2}+1.2x-1) $

Work Step by Step

We have: $v(x)= \tan (x^{2.2}+1.2x-1)$ We differentiate both sides with respect to $x$. $v^{\prime}(x)=\dfrac{d}{dx} [ \tan (x^{2.2}+1.2x-1)] \\= \sec^2 (x^{2.2}+1.2x-1) \times (2.2x^{2.2-1}+1.2) $ Simplify to obtain: $v^{\prime}(x)= (2.2x^{1.2}+1.2) \sec^2 (x^{2.2}+1.2x-1) $
