$$-1 + \frac{1}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$$

1/(cos(x)^2) - 1

Detail solution

Differentiate $-1 + \frac{1}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$ term by term:
1. Let $u = \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}$ .
2. Apply the power rule: $\frac{1}{u}$ goes to $- \frac{1}{u^{2}}$
3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}$ :
  1. Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
  2. Apply the power rule: $u^{2}$ goes to $2 u$
  3. 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:
    
    $- 2 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}$
  The result of the chain rule is:
  
  $\frac{2 \sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}$
4. The derivative of the constant $-1$ is zero.
The result is: $\frac{2 \sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}$

The answer is:

$\frac{2 \sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}$
