The derivative of sec(x), which represents the rate of change of the secant function with respect to x.
Imagine you are driving a car on a curvy road. The (sec(x))' is like the steering wheel, telling you how much you need to turn at each point to stay on track.
(sec(x)tan(x)): The product of sec(x) and tan(x), which represents the rate of change of both functions combined.
(csc(x))': The derivative of csc(x), which represents the rate of change of the cosecant function with respect to x.
(cot(x))': The derivative of cot(x), which represents the rate of change of the cotangent function with respect to x.
