Find the Derivative - d/dx 4sec(x)

Problem

(d(4)*sec(x))/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the constant multiple rule, which states that the derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of that function.

(d(4)*sec(x))/d(x)=4d(sec(x))/d(x)

2. Apply the derivative rule for the secant function, which is d(sec(x))/d(x)=sec(x)*tan(x)

4d(sec(x))/d(x)=4*sec(x)*tan(x)

Final Answer

(d(4)*sec(x))/d(x)=4*sec(x)*tan(x)
