Answer

$y'=\tan x $, $\;\; y''=\sec ^2 x$

Work Step by Step

It is given that :- \[y=\ln |\sec x|\;\;\;...(1)\] Differentiating (1) with respect to $x$ using chain rule \[y'=\frac{1}{\sec x}\cdot (\sec x)'\] \[y'=\frac{1}{\sec x}\cdot (\sec x\tan x)\] \[y'=\tan x\;\;\;...(2)\] Differentiating (2) with respect to $x$ \[y''=\sec ^2 x\] Hence $y'=\tan x $ and $ y''=\sec ^2 x$
