        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}(\sin x)=\cos x,\quad\frac{d}{dx}(\sec x)=\sec x \tan x}
3. Inverse Trig Derivatives
        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}(\tan^{-1} x)=\frac{1}{1+x^2}}


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}(\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}(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta)'}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{(-2)\pi^2(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta)^{-3}(\sec\theta\tan\theta -\cos (2\theta)(2\theta)')}\\ &&\\ & = & \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'=(\cos(3\pi))'+(\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 (\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'=(\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{(\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x}))'}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\bigg(\frac{1}{1+(\sqrt{x})^2}\bigg)(\sqrt{x})'}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\bigg(\frac{1}{1+x}\bigg)\frac{1}{2\sqrt{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 g'(\theta)=\frac{-2\pi^2(\sec\theta\tan\theta -2\cos (2\theta))}{(\sec\theta -\sin 2\theta)^{3}}}
   (b)    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'=\bigg(\frac{1}{1+x}\bigg)\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}}
