# Find the derivative of the following functions (it is to be understood that a, b, c, d, p, q, r and s are fixed non-zero constants and m and n are integers): sin x+ a/cos x

21.   Find the derivative of the following functions (it is to be understood that a, b, c, d, p, q, r and s are fixed non-zero constants and m and n are integers):

$\frac{\sin ( x+a )}{ \cos x }$

Given,

$f(x)=\frac{\sin ( x+a )}{ \cos x }$

Now, As we know the derivative of any function

$\frac{d(\frac{y_1}{y_2})}{dx}=\frac{y_2d(\frac{dy_1}{dx})-y_1(\frac{dy_2}{dx})}{y_2^2}$

Hence the derivative of the given function is:

$\frac{d(\frac{\sin(x+a)}{\cos x})}{dx}=\frac{(\cos x)(\frac{d(\sin (x+a))}{dx})-\sin(x+a)(\frac{d(\cos x)}{dx})}{(\cos x)^2}$

$\frac{d(\frac{\sin(x+a)}{\cos x})}{dx}=\frac{(\cos x)(\cos(x+a))-\sin(x+a)(-\sin (x))}{(\cos x)^2}$

$\frac{d(\frac{\sin(x+a)}{\cos x})}{dx}=\frac{(\cos x)(\cos(x+a))+\sin(x+a)(\sin (x))}{(\cos x)^2}$

$\frac{d(\frac{\sin(x+a)}{\cos x})}{dx}=\frac{\cos (x+a-x)}{(\cos x)^2}$

$\frac{d(\frac{\sin(x+a)}{\cos x})}{dx}=\frac{\cos (a)}{(\cos x)^2}$

Given,

$f(x)=\frac{\sin ( x+a )}{ \cos x }$

Now, As we know the derivative of any function

$\frac{d(\frac{y_1}{y_2})}{dx}=\frac{y_2d(\frac{dy_1}{dx})-y_1(\frac{dy_2}{dx})}{y_2^2}$

Hence the derivative of the given function is:

$\frac{d(\frac{\sin(x+a)}{\cos x})}{dx}=\frac{(\cos x)(\frac{d(\sin (x+a))}{dx})-\sin(x+a)(\frac{d(\cos x)}{dx})}{(\cos x)^2}$

$\frac{d(\frac{\sin(x+a)}{\cos x})}{dx}=\frac{(\cos x)(\cos(x+a))-\sin(x+a)(-\sin (x))}{(\cos x)^2}$

$\frac{d(\frac{\sin(x+a)}{\cos x})}{dx}=\frac{(\cos x)(\cos(x+a))+\sin(x+a)(\sin (x))}{(\cos x)^2}$

$\frac{d(\frac{\sin(x+a)}{\cos x})}{dx}=\frac{\cos (x+a-x)}{(\cos x)^2}$

$\frac{d(\frac{\sin(x+a)}{\cos x})}{dx}=\frac{\cos (a)}{(\cos x)^2}$
