Question:medium
If \( x = \sin t \) and \( y = \tan t \), then \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \)
If \( x = \sin t \) and \( y = \tan t \), then \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \)
Show Hint
You can also write this as \( \sec^3 t \). When dealing with trig parameters, it's often helpful to convert everything to sine and cosine at the very end to match the given options.

- \( \cos^3 t \)
- \( \frac{1}{\cos^3 t} \)
- \( \frac{1}{\cos^2 t} \)
- \( \sin^2 t \)
- \( \frac{1}{\sin^2 t} \)
Show Solution
The Correct Option is B
