log(sec(x) + tan(x))

Detail solution

Let $u = \tan{\left(x \right)} + \sec{\left(x \right)}$ .
The derivative of $\log{\left(u \right)}$ is $\frac{1}{u}$ .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(\tan{\left(x \right)} + \sec{\left(x \right)}\right)$ :
1. Differentiate $\tan{\left(x \right)} + \sec{\left(x \right)}$ term by term:
  1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
    
    $\sec{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{\cos{\left(x \right)}}$
  2. Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
  3. Apply the power rule: $\frac{1}{u}$ goes to $- \frac{1}{u^{2}}$
  4. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)}$ :
    1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}$
    The result of the chain rule is:
    
    $\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
  5. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
    
    $\tan{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos{\left(x \right)}}$
  6. Apply the quotient rule, which is:
    
    $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
    
    $f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(x \right)}$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
    
    To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
    1. The derivative of sine is cosine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$
    To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
    1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}$
    Now plug in to the quotient rule:
    
    $\frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
  The result is: $\frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}} + \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
The result of the chain rule is:

$\frac{\frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}} + \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}}{\tan{\left(x \right)} + \sec{\left(x \right)}}$
Now simplify:

$\frac{1}{\cos{\left(x \right)}}$

The answer is:

$\frac{1}{\cos{\left(x \right)}}$
