Trig derivative; stuck midway please help ! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large y= \frac{ tanx-1 }{ secx }\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

take derivative of a quotient, that's it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am but i have a mistake midway, can you please help me ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large y'= \frac{ (secx)(\sec^2x)-(tanx-1)(secxtanx) }{ \sec^2x }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large y'=\frac{ \sec^3x- ?????? }{ \sec^2x }\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

???? = tanx^2x secx -tan x (just multiply)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhhh, how stupid of me -.-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66 thanks !! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large y'= \frac{ \sec^3x-(secstan^2x-secxtanx) }{ \sec^2x }\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

factor sec out, you can go ... somewhere else,hihi... try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(secstan2x−secxtanx) <<< is that negative of positive inside of the brackets?

OpenStudy (loser66):

\[y'=\frac{secx(sec^2x-tan^2x+tanx)}{sec^2x}\] \[=\frac{1+tanx}{secx}= cosx +sinx\] hopefully no mistake

OpenStudy (loser66):

hi friend, you can go this way, \[\frac{tanx-1}{sec}=\frac{tanx}{sec}-\frac{1}{sec}\] \[=sinx -cosx\] then take derivative that stuff to get \[y'=cosx+sinx\] sorry for lagging, I just follow yours without thinking about this stuff
