@ganeshie8 i need your help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Derivative of (secx + tanx)(secx-tanx) Should i use product rule here

mathslover (mathslover):

Will it be better to use (a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2 identity and then differentiating it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes oh yes sec^2x - tan^2x

mathslover (mathslover):

But, we know \(\sec ^2 x - \tan ^2 x = 1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

mathslover (mathslover):

I think so. But, I am not so good in differentiation, I have just learnt the basics so far. May be, we need @ganeshie8 to confirm the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is 0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

0 is right !

mathslover (mathslover):
