Q. Find the derivative of \newlinef(x)=6sec(x)+x3.f(x)=6\sec(x)+x^{3}.
  1. Identify Functions: Identify the individual functions within f(x)f(x) that we need to differentiate.f(x)=6sec(x)+x3f(x) = 6\sec(x) + x^3 consists of two terms: 6sec(x)6\sec(x) and x3x^3. We will differentiate each term separately.
  2. Differentiate First Term: Differentiate the first term, 6sec(x)6\sec(x). The derivative of sec(x)\sec(x) is sec(x)tan(x)\sec(x)\tan(x), so the derivative of 6sec(x)6\sec(x) is 6×sec(x)tan(x)6 \times \sec(x)\tan(x).
  3. Differentiate Second Term: Differentiate the second term, x3x^3. The derivative of x3x^3, using the power rule, is 3x23x^2.
  4. Combine Derivatives: Combine the derivatives of the individual terms to find the derivative of f(x)f(x).f(x)=derivative of 6sec(x)+derivative of x3f'(x) = \text{derivative of } 6\sec(x) + \text{derivative of } x^3f(x)=6sec(x)tan(x)+3x2f'(x) = 6 \cdot \sec(x)\tan(x) + 3x^2
  5. Check for Errors: Check for any mathematical errors in the differentiation process.\newlineNo errors were made in applying the differentiation rules for sec(x)\sec(x) and x3x^3.
