$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\sec\left(x\right)^2\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(-\tan\left(x\right)\right)$
Learn how to solve problems step by step online. Find the derivative d/dx(xsec(x)^2-tan(x)) using the sum rule. The derivative of a sum of two or more functions is the sum of the derivatives of each function. The derivative of a function multiplied by a constant is equal to the constant times the derivative of the function. Apply the product rule for differentiation: (f\cdot g)'=f'\cdot g+f\cdot g', where f=x and g=\sec\left(x\right)^2. The derivative of the linear function is equal to 1.
