Answer

$s'=5\sec t(\sec t+\tan t)^5$

Work Step by Step

Given that $s=(\sec t+\tan t)^5$ Apply derivative rules of differentiation: $f(x)=p'(x)q(x)+p(x)q'(x)$ $y'=\dfrac{d}{dx}[(\sec t+\tan t)^5]$ $=5(\sec t+\tan t)^4\dfrac{d}{dx}(\sec t+\tan t)$ $=5(\sec t+\tan t)^4(\sec t\tan t+\sec^2 t)$ Hence, $s'=5\sec t(\sec t+\tan t)^5$
