Given 

f(x)=( x + \sec x ) ( x - \tan x )

Now, As we know  the Multiplication property of derivative,

\frac{d(y_1y_2)}{dx}=y_1\frac{dy_2}{dx}+y_2\frac{dy_1}{dx}

Also the property 

\frac{d(y_1+y_2)}{dx}=\frac{dy_1}{dx}+\frac{dy_2}{dx}

Applying those properties we get,

 the derivative of the given function is,

\frac{d(( x + \sec x ) ( x - \tan x )}{dx}=(x+\sec x)\frac{d(x-\tan x)}{dx}+(x-\tan x)\frac{d(x+\sec x)}{dx}

\frac{d(( x + \sec x ) ( x - \tan x )}{dx}=(x+\sec x)(1-\sec^2x)+(x-\tan x)(1+\sec x\tan x)
