Answer

Thus, the derivative of r with respect to θ is 0.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we rewrite the given equation as tan(rθ4)=7.

Step 2 :Next, we take the derivative of both sides with respect to θ.

Step 3 :On the left side, we use the chain rule to differentiate tan(rθ4). The derivative of tan(x) is sec2(x), and the derivative of rθ4 is 4rθ3drdθ.

Step 4 :So, the derivative of the left side is sec2(rθ4)4rθ3drdθ.

Step 5 :On the right side, the derivative of 7 with respect to θ is 0.

Step 6 :So, we have the equation sec2(rθ4)4rθ3drdθ=0.

Step 7 :We can simplify this equation by dividing both sides by sec2(rθ4)4rθ3, which gives us drdθ=0.

Step 8 :Thus, the derivative of r with respect to θ is 0.
