\[y=(sect+tant)^5\]
Chain rule again. Once again, think of this: \[\Large y = (\color{blue}{\sec t + \tan t })^5\] as just one entity, differentiate as per the power rule... and then multiply the whole thing by the derivative of that 'entity'
Multiplication of the derivatives of layers (inner functions).
$$ \bf \frac{d}{dx}(\sec(x) + \tan(x))^5\\\\ \text{Let u= }(\sec(x) + \tan(x))\\\\ \text{Then }\frac{du^5}{du}\frac{du}{dx}=5u^4\frac{du}{dx}\\\\ \frac{du}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(\sec(x) + \tan(x))=\sec^2(x))+\sec(x)\tan(x)\\\\ \text{So, }\frac{d}{dx}(\sec(x) + \tan(x))^5\\\\ =5(\sec(x) + \tan(x))^4(\sec^2(x))+\sec(x)\tan(x))\\\\ $$
