Question
Differentiate the function with respect to x : $\sec \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right)$

Answer

Let $y = \sec \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right)$

$\therefore \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \sec \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right)\tan \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right)\frac{d}{{dx}}\left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right)$

$= \sec \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right)\tan \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right){\sec ^2}\sqrt x \frac{d}{{dx}}\sqrt x $

$= \sec \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right)\tan \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right){\sec ^2}\sqrt {x.} \frac{1}{2}{x^{\frac{1}{2} - 1}}$

$= \sec \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right)\tan \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right){\sec ^2}\sqrt x .\frac{1}{{2\sqrt x }}$

$= \frac{{\sec \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right).\tan \left( {\tan \sqrt x } \right).{{\sec }^2}\sqrt x }}{{2\sqrt x }}$
