Answer

$c=7$

Work Step by Step

Use the sum rule for the derivatives it follows: $$f'(x)=(cx)'+(\ln(\cos(x)))'$$ $$f'(x)=c+(\ln(\cos(x)))'$$ Using the chain rule $(f(g(x)))'=g'(x)f'(g(x))$.In our case $g(x)=\cos(x)$ and $f(x)=\ln x$ so it follows: $$f'(x)=c+(\cos(x))'\frac{1}{\cos(x)}$$ $$f'(x)=c-\sin(x)\frac{1}{\cos(x)}$$ $$f'(x)=c-\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$$ $$f'(x)=c-\tan(x)$$ $$f'\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=c-\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$$ $$6=c-1$$ $$6+1=c$$ $$7=c$$
