derivative of h(x)=sec^6(x)

Solution

derivative of

h (x) = sec^{6} (x)

Solution

6 sec^{6} (x) tan (x)

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (sec^{6} (x))

Apply the chain rule:

6 (sec (x))^{5} \frac{d}{d x} (sec (x))

= 6 (sec (x))^{5} \frac{d}{d x} (sec (x))

\frac{d}{d x} (sec (x)) = sec (x) tan (x)

= 6 (sec (x))^{5} sec (x) tan (x)

Simplify

6 sec^{5} (x) sec (x) tan (x) : 6 sec^{6} (x) tan (x)

= 6 sec^{6} (x) tan (x)
