TGM Original Questions

Find the derivative of each of the following functions with respect to \(x\).

  1. \(f(x) = \ln \frac{\cos (x^2 + x + 1)}{\sqrt{\sin (2x^2 + 1)}}\)

  2. \(f(x) = \ln \frac{\tan (1 - 2x^2)}{\sqrt{1 - x}}\)

  3. \(f(x) = \ln \sqrt{\frac{\sin (1 - x - x^2)}{\cos 3x - \sin 5x}}\)

  4. \(f(x) = \ln \sqrt{\frac{\sin 2x}{\cos^2 x}}\)
