Answer

The Derivative is: $\frac{dr}{d\theta}=\cos\theta+\sec^2\theta$

Work Step by Step

$r=(1+\sec\theta)\sin\theta$ Using the distributive property of mathematics $r=\sin\theta+\sec\theta\sin\theta$ $r=\sin\theta+\frac{1}{\cos\theta}\cdot\sin\theta$ $r=\sin\theta+\tan\theta$ Applying Derivative rules: $y'=f'(x)+g'(x)$ $\frac{dr}{d\theta}=\frac{d}{d\theta}(\sin\theta)+\frac{d}{d\theta}(\tan\theta)$ $\frac{dr}{d\theta}=(\cos\theta)+(\sec^2\theta)$ $\frac{dr}{d\theta}=\cos\theta+\sec^2\theta$
