Answer

\[f''(\frac{π}{4})=3\sqrt{2}\]

Work Step by Step

\[f(t)=\sec t\] Differentiate both side with respect to $t$ \[f'(t)=\sec t\:\tan t\] Again ,differentiate both side with respect to $t$ using product rule \[f''(t)=(\sec t)'\tan t+(\tan t)'\sec t\] \[f''(t)=\sec t\:\tan^2 t+\sec ^3 t\] \[f''(t)=\sec t(\:\tan^2 t+\sec ^2 t)\] \[f''(\frac{π}{4})=\sec( \frac{π}{4})\left[\tan^2(\frac{π}{4})+\sec ^2(\frac{π}{4})\right]\] \[f''(\frac{π}{4})=\sqrt{2}[1+2]\] \[f''(\frac{π}{4})=3\sqrt{2}\] Hence, \[f''(\frac{π}{4})=3\sqrt{2}.\]
