If $y=(\sin x)^{\tan x}$, then $\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}$ is equal to

If $y=(\sin x)^{\tan x}$, then $\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}$ is equal to
  1. $(\sin x)^{\tan x}\left(1+\sec ^2 x \log (\sin x)\right)$
  2. $\tan x(\sin x)^{\tan x-1} \cos x$
  3. $(\sin x)^{\tan x} \sec ^2 x \log \sin x$
  4. $\tan x(\sin x)^{\tan x-1}$

Solution

$y=(\sin x)^{\tan x}$
Taking logarithm on both sides, we get $\log y=\tan x \cdot \log (\sin x)$
Differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get $\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{y} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{~d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\tan x \cdot \cot x+\log (\sin x) \cdot \sec ^2 x \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{~d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=(\sin x)^{\tan x}\left[1+\sec ^2 x \log (\sin x)\right] \end{aligned}$
