The derivative of sec x is equal to sec x tan x. The derivative of the first derivative can be determined using the rule of products. The derivative is equal to sec x sec^2 x + tan x * sec x tan x. The simplified answer is sec^3 x + sec^2 x tan x equal to sec^2 x ( sec x + tanx )

I don't really know how to explain this one but I got: (7m-6n)(7m-6n)
Common denominator is going to be 24
8=2*2*2
6=2*3
24=2*2*2*3
8 should be multiplied by 3
6 should be multiplied by 4
7/8=(7*3)/(8*3)=21/24
5/6=(5*4)/(6*4)=20/24
7/8=21/24
5/6=20/24
