How do you differentiate #f(x)=sec^2(e^(x) ) # using the chain rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Trevor Ryan. Aug 30, 2016 #d/dxsec^2(e^x)=2e^xsec^2(e^x)tan(e^x)# Explanation: #d/dxsec^2(e^x)=d/dx[sec(e^x)]^2# #=2sec(e^x) * sec(e^x) * tan(e^x) * e^x# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
