Transform

Detail solution

Differentiate $x - 1 \cdot \frac{1}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$ term by term:
1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
  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:
    
    $\frac{2 \sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}$
  So, the result is: $- \frac{2 \sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}}$
The result is: $- \frac{2 \sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}} + 1$

The answer is:

$- \frac{2 \sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)}} + 1$
