How do you find the derivative of #f(x)= (x+sinx)/(cosx) #? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer sjc Nov 3, 2016 #f'(x)=(cosx+xsinx+1)/cos^2x# Explanation: using the quotient rule. #f(x)=u/v=> f'(x)=(vu'-uv')/v^2# # f(x)=(x+sinx)/cosx# #u=x+sinx=>u'=1+cosx# #v=cosx=>v'=-sinx# #:.f'(x)=(cosx(1+cosx)-(x+sinx)(-sinx))/cos^2x# #f'(x)=(cosx+cos^2x+xsinx+sin^2x)/cos^2x# #f'(x)=(cosx+xsinx+1)/cos^2x# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
