Trig derivatives - by the rules

Apply the quotient rule and the facts that $\frac{d}{dx}\sin x=\cos x$ and $\frac{d}{dx}\cos x=-\sin x$ to find the derivatives of these functions:

• (a) $\frac{d}{d\theta }\tan \theta$
• (b) $\frac{d}{d\theta }\sec \theta$
• (c) $\frac{d}{d\theta }\csc \theta$
• (d) $\frac{d}{d\theta }\cot \theta$
