Answer

$$y'=|\sec x|$$

Work Step by Step

$y'=\frac{d}{dx}\sinh^{-1}(\tan x)$ Using the chain rule: $y'=\frac{d\sinh^{-1}(\tan x)}{d\tan x} \times \frac{d\tan x}{dx}$ $=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+(\tan x)^2}} \times \sec^2 x$ Recall that: $$\tan^2 x+1=\sec^2 x$$ Thus, $y'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\tan^2 x}} \times \sec^2 x$ $=\frac{1}{|\sec x|}\times \sec^2 x$ $=|\sec x|$
