Dy/dx= tanx, can be answered directly using the derivatives of trigonometric functions but this is how the answer is derived =(sinx/cosx) basic trigonometric function = [cosx cox+sinxsinx]/cos^2x =[cos^2x+sin^2x]/cos^2x cos^2+sin^2x = 1 ; fundamental trigonometric identities = 1/cos^2x; reciprocal relations = sec^2x+C The answer is letter B.sec^2x+C
