Detail solution

  1. Apply the product rule:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} g{\left(x \right)} = f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}

    f(x)=tan⁡(x)+sec⁡(x)f{\left(x \right)} = \tan{\left(x \right)} + \sec{\left(x \right)}; to find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Differentiate tan⁡(x)+sec⁡(x)\tan{\left(x \right)} + \sec{\left(x \right)} term by term:

      1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:

        sec⁡(x)=1cos⁡(x)\sec{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{\cos{\left(x \right)}}

      2. Let u=cos⁡(x)u = \cos{\left(x \right)}.

      3. Apply the power rule: 1u\frac{1}{u} goes to −1u2- \frac{1}{u^{2}}

      4. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddxcos⁡(x)\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)}:

        1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

          ddxcos⁡(x)=−sin⁡(x)\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}

        The result of the chain rule is:

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

      5. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:

        tan⁡(x)=sin⁡(x)cos⁡(x)\tan{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos{\left(x \right)}}

      6. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

        ddxf(x)g(x)=−f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)g2(x)\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(x)=sin⁡(x)f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(x \right)} and g(x)=cos⁡(x)g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}.

        To find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

        1. The derivative of sine is cosine:

          ddxsin⁡(x)=cos⁡(x)\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}

        To find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

        1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

          ddxcos⁡(x)=−sin⁡(x)\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}

        Now plug in to the quotient rule:

        sin⁡2(x)+cos⁡2(x)cos⁡2(x)\frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}

      The result is: sin⁡2(x)+cos⁡2(x)cos⁡2(x)+sin⁡(x)cos⁡2(x)\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)}}

    g(x)=−tan⁡(x)+sec⁡(x)g{\left(x \right)} = - \tan{\left(x \right)} + \sec{\left(x \right)}; to find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Differentiate −tan⁡(x)+sec⁡(x)- \tan{\left(x \right)} + \sec{\left(x \right)} term by term:

      1. The derivative of secant is secant times tangent:

        ddxsec⁡(x)=tan⁡(x)sec⁡(x)\frac{d}{d x} \sec{\left(x \right)} = \tan{\left(x \right)} \sec{\left(x \right)}

      2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

        1. ddxtan⁡(x)=1cos⁡2(x)\frac{d}{d x} \tan{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}

        So, the result is: −sin⁡2(x)+cos⁡2(x)cos⁡2(x)- \frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}

      The result is: −sin⁡2(x)+cos⁡2(x)cos⁡2(x)+sin⁡(x)cos⁡2(x)- \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 is: (−sin⁡2(x)+cos⁡2(x)cos⁡2(x)+sin⁡(x)cos⁡2(x))(tan⁡(x)+sec⁡(x))+(sin⁡2(x)+cos⁡2(x)cos⁡2(x)+sin⁡(x)cos⁡2(x))(−tan⁡(x)+sec⁡(x))\left(- \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)}}\right) \left(\tan{\left(x \right)} + \sec{\left(x \right)}\right) + \left(\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)}}\right) \left(- \tan{\left(x \right)} + \sec{\left(x \right)}\right)

  2. Now simplify:
