Answer

$\frac{dy}{d\theta}=2\tan\theta$

Work Step by Step

$y=\ln{(\sec^2\theta})$ On differentiating both sides: $\frac{dy}{d\theta}=\frac{d(\ln{(\sec^2\theta}))}{d\theta}$ $\frac{dy}{d\theta}=\frac{1}{\sec^2\theta}\frac{d({(\sec^2\theta}))} {d\theta}$ $\frac{dy}{d\theta}=\frac{{(2\sec\theta\sec\theta\tan\theta})}{\sec^2\theta}={2\tan\theta}$ $\frac{dy}{d\theta}=2\tan\theta$
