Y = cosxcos2xcos4xcos8xcos16x
taking log both sides
logY = log(cosx.cos2x.cos4x.cos8x.cos16x)
logab = loga + logb (property)
logY =[ logcosx + logcos2x + logcos4x + logcos8x + logcos16x ] ...................1
differentiating wrt x
differentiatn of log(f(x) = f1x/ f(x)
(1/Y) . (y1) =
[ -sinx/cosx + -sin2x/2cos2x - sin4x/4cos4x - sin8x/8cos8x -16sin16x/16cos16x]
y1 = -Y[tanx + tan2x/2 + tan4x/4 + tan8x/8 + tan16x/16] .....................2
now put the value of Y from 1 in eq 2 u will get the desired result...
