To find the derivative of the function \( f(x) = \sec x \) at \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \) using the definition of the derivative, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the definition of the derivative The derivative of a function \( f \) at a point \( a \) is defined as: \[ f'(a) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(a + h) - f(a)}{h} \] In our case, we need to find \( f'(\frac{\pi}{4}) \). ...
