Final answer:
To find the derivative of f(x) = sec(u) = 1/cos(u), we can use the chain rule. Let's start by finding the derivative of u with respect to x, denoted as du/dx. Then we can substitute this value into the derivative of sec(u) to get the final result.

To find the derivative of f(x) = sec(u) = 1/cos(u), we can use the chain rule. Let's start by finding the derivative of u with respect to x, denoted as du/dx. Then we can substitute this value into the derivative of sec(u) to get the final result.
Derivative of u with respect to x:
du/dx
Derivative of sec(u) with respect to x:
(d/dx) sec(u) = sec(u) tan(u) (du/dx)
