How do you differentiate y= 10^ (tan (pi)(theta)? Calculus Differentiating Exponential Functions Differentiating Exponential Functions with Other Bases 1 Answer Azimet Jan 18, 2017 dy/(dθ) = 10^tan(πθ) (πln(tan(πθ))) /cos^2(πθ) Explanation: Let v = πθ and u = tanv. Using the chain rule, dy/(dθ) = dy/(du) (du)/(dv) (dv)/(dθ) So now, y = 10^u, so: dy/(dθ) = 10^u lnu * 1/cos^2(v) * π = 10^tan(πθ) (πln(tan(πθ))) /cos^2(πθ) Answer link Related questions How do I find f'(x) for f(x)=5^x ?
