Given function is
$f(x) = \frac{\sin (ax +b )}{\cos (cx + d)} = \frac{g(x)}{h(x)}$
We know that,
$f^{'}(x) = \frac{g^{'}(x)h(x)-g(x)h^{'}(x)}{h^2(x)}$
$g(x) = \sin(ax+b)$ and    $h(x) = \cos(cx+d)$
Lets take   $u = (ax+b) \ and \ v = (cx+d)$
Then,
$\sin (ax+b) = \sin u \ and \ \cos(cx+d) = \cos c$
$g^{'}(x)=\frac{d(g(x))}{dx} = \frac{d(g(x))}{du}.\frac{du}{dx}$ (By chain rule)
$\frac{d(g(x))}{du} = \frac{d(\sin u)}{du} = \cos u = \cos(ax+b) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because u = ax +b)$
$\frac{du}{dx} = \frac{d(ax+b)}{dx} = a$
$g^{'}(x)=a\cos (ax+b)$ -(i)
Similarly,
$h^{'}(x)=\frac{d(h(x))}{dx} = \frac{d(h(x))}{dv}.\frac{dv}{dx}$
$\frac{d(h(x))}{dv}= \frac{d(\cos v)}{dv} = -\sin v = -\sin (cx+d) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because v = (cx+d))$
$\frac{dv}{dx}= \frac{d(cx+d)}{dv} = c$
$h^{'}(x)=-c\sin(cx+d)$ -(ii)
Now, put (i) and (ii) in
$f^{'}(x) = \frac{g^{'}(x)h(x)-g(x)h^{'}(x)}{h^2(x)} = \frac{a\cos(ax+b).\cos(cx+d)-\sin(ax+b).(-c.\sin(cx+d))}{\cos^2(cx+d)}$
$= \frac{a\cos(ax+b).\cos(cx+d)}{\cos^2(cx+d)}+\frac{\sin(ax+b).c.\sin(cx+d)}{\cos^2(cx+d)}$
$= a\cos(ax+b).\sec(cx+d) +c\sin(ax+b).\tan(cx+d).\sec(cx+d)$
Therefore, the answer is $a\cos(ax+b).\sec(cx+d) +c\sin(ax+b).\tan(cx+d).\sec(cx+d)$
