Question

If y = tan x + sec x then prove that `(d^2y)/(dx^2) = cosx/(1 - sinx)^2`.

Sum

Solution

y = tan x + sec x

`dy/dx = d/dx (tan x) + d/dx (sec x)`

= sec2 x + sec x tan x

= sec x (sec x + tan x)

= `1/cosx(1/cosx + sinx/cosx)`

= `(1 + sinx)/(cos^2x)`

`dy/dx = (1 + sinx)/(1 - sin^2x)`

= `1/(1 - sinx)`

`(d^2y)/(dx^2) = ((1 - sinx)0 - 1(-cosx))/(1 - sinx)^2`

= `cosx/(1 - sinx)^2`.
