Half Derivative of $\tan(x)$

289 Views Asked by At

I know how to find one of many half derivatives of $\sin(x)$ and $\cos(x)$ which are,

$${D^{\frac{1}{2}}}\sin(x)=\sin(x+\frac{\pi}{4})$$

$${D^{\frac{1}{2}}}\cos(x)=\cos(x+\frac{\pi}{4})$$

Using these is it possible to find a half derivative for $\tan(x)$ by letting.

$$\tan(x)=\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$$

Does the Quotient rule apply for half derivatives as well?

For example,

$$D^{\frac{1}{2}}\tan(x)=\frac{D^{\frac{1}{2}}[\sin(x)]\cos(x)-D^{\frac{1}{2}}[\cos(x)]\sin(x)}{\cos^2(x)}$$

As a side question, does the Product and Chain rule also apply for half derivatives, or some other form of it?
