Show that the derivative of tan(x) is sec^2(x), where sec(x) is defined as 1/cos(x). [Hint: think of tan(x) as a quotient of two related functions and apply the appropriate identity]

tan(x) is defined as sin(x)/cos(x) For a function which can be written as f(x) = u(x)/v(x) the quotient rule can be appliedThe quotient rule states f ' (x) = (u'v-v'u)/v^2 Applying this to the formula for ta...
