Solution:
(a)
| Step 1:
|
| First, we write
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle g(\theta)=\pi^2(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta)^{-2}.}
|
| Now, using the Chain Rule, we have
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle g'(\theta)=(-2)\pi^2(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta)^{-3}\cdot\frac{d}{d\theta}(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta).}
|
| Step 2:
|
| Now, using the Chain Rule a second time, we get
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{g'(\theta)} & = & \displaystyle{(-2)\pi^2(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta)^{-3}\cdot\frac{d}{d\theta}(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta)}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{(-2)\pi^2(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta)^{-3}\bigg(\sec\theta\tan\theta -\cos (2\theta)\cdot \frac{d}{d\theta} (2\theta)\bigg)}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{(-2)\pi^2(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta)^{-3}(\sec\theta\tan\theta -\cos (2\theta)(2))}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{-2\pi^2(\sec\theta\tan\theta -2\cos (2\theta))}{(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta)^{3}}.} \end{array}}

(b)
| Step 1:
|
| First, we have
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y'=\frac{d}{dx}(\cos(3\pi))+\frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x})).}
|
| Since Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \cos(3\pi)}
is a constant,
|
| we have
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(\cos(3\pi))=0.}
|
| Therefore,
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y'=\frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x})).}
|
| Step 2:
|
| Now, using the Chain Rule, we have
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{y'} & = & \displaystyle{\frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x}))}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\bigg(\frac{1}{1+(\sqrt{x})^2}\bigg)\cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{x})}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\bigg(\frac{1}{1+x}\bigg)\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}(1+x)}.} \end{array}}

| Final Answer:
|
| (a) Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{-2\pi^2(\sec\theta\tan\theta -2\cos (2\theta))}{(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta)^{3}}}
