Find the derivative of sinθ/cosθ

A.

sec2 θ

B.

tan θ cosec θ

C.

cosec θ sec θ

D.

cosec2θ

Correct Answer: sec2 θ

Explanation

sinθ/cosθ. (cosθ (d(sinθ))/dθ - sinθ (d(cosθ))/dθ)/cos2θ. (cosθ.cosθ-sinθ(-sinθ))/(cos2 θ) (cos2 θ+sin2⁡θ)/(cos2 θ) Recall that sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1 1/cos2θ = sec2 θ

sinθ/cosθ. (cosθ (d(sinθ))/dθ - sinθ (d(cosθ))/dθ)/cos2θ. (cosθ.cosθ-sinθ(-sinθ))/(cos2 θ) (cos2 θ+sin2⁡θ)/(cos2 θ) Recall that sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1 1/cos2θ = sec2 θ
