Derivative Involving Secant

How do we find the derivative of the function:
In trigonometric derivatives we learned the derivatives of sine and cosine. Those are the ones we learn by heart.
So, it is a good idea to write the equation as function of those.
By the definition of secant:
So, here we make use of good old chain rule:
And that's it.
