$${MJS}\:{Sir}\:{it}\:{is}\:{my}\:{way} \\ $$$$\frac{{d}}{{dx}}\left(\frac{{sec}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+{cosx}}\right)=\frac{{d}}{{dx}}\left\{\frac{\mathrm{1}−{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}}{{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}\left(\mathrm{1}+{cosx}\right)}\right\} \\ $$$$=\frac{{d}}{{dx}}\left\{\frac{\left(\mathrm{1}+{cosx}\right)\left(\mathrm{1}−{cosx}\right)}{{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}\left(\mathrm{1}+{cosx}\right)}\right\} \\ $$$$=\frac{{d}}{{dx}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}−{cosx}}{{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}}\right)=\frac{{d}}{{dx}}\left({sec}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}−{secx}\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{2}{sec}^{\mathrm{2}} {xtanx}−{secxtanx} \\ $$

$$\frac{{d}}{{dx}}\left[\frac{{u}}{{v}}\right]=\frac{{u}'{v}−{uv}'}{{v}^{\mathrm{2}} }= \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:{u}=\mathrm{tan}^{\mathrm{2}} \:{x}\:\rightarrow\:{u}'=\mathrm{2}\frac{\mathrm{tan}\:{x}}{\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \:{x}}=\mathrm{2}\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:{x}}{\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{3}} \:{x}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:{v}=\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\:\rightarrow\:{v}'=−\mathrm{sin}\:{x} \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{2}\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:{x}}{\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{3}} \:{x}}\left(\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\right)+\mathrm{tan}^{\mathrm{2}} \:{x}\:\mathrm{sin}\:{x}}{\left(\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }= \\ $$$$… \\ $$$$=\frac{\left(\mathrm{2}−\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\right)\mathrm{tan}\:{x}}{\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \:{x}} \\ $$
