    \[\frac{d}{dx}\left( \frac{1}{{{x}^{4}}\sec x} \right)=\]     

    A)            \[\frac{x\sin x+4\cos x}{{{x}^{5}}}\]

    B)            \[\frac{-(x\sin x+4\cos x)}{{{x}^{5}}}\]

    C)                    \[\frac{4\cos x-x\sin x}{{{x}^{5}}}\]

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[\frac{d}{dx}\left( \frac{1}{{{x}^{4}}\sec x} \right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left( \frac{\cos x}{{{x}^{4}}} \right)\]\[=\frac{{{x}^{4}}(-\sin x)-\cos x(4{{x}^{3}})}{{{({{x}^{4}})}^{2}}}\]            \[=\frac{-{{x}^{3}}(x\sin x+4\cos x)}{{{x}^{8}}}=\frac{-(x\sin x+4\cos x)}{{{x}^{5}}}\].
