Answer

$t^{\prime}(x)=\sin x (1+\sec x)+\sec x \tan x (1-\cos x)$

Work Step by Step

We have: $t(x)=(1+\sec x)(1-\cos x)$ We need to differentiate both sides with respect to $x$. $t^{\prime}(x)=\dfrac{d}{dx} [(1+\sec x)(1-\cos x)]\\=(1+\sec x) \times (-1)(-\sin x )+(1-\cos x) \sec x \tan x\\=\sin x (1+\sec x)+\sec x \tan x (1-\cos x)$ Therefore, $t^{\prime}(x)=\sin x (1+\sec x)+\sec x \tan x (1-\cos x)$
