Let f(x)=sec⁡xf(x)=\sec x for xx measured in radians. A point PP lies on the graph of ff at x=π4x=\dfrac{\pi}{4}. a. Calculate f′(π4)f'(\dfrac{\pi}{4}). Show all necessary algebraic work. b. Write an explicit equation for the tangent line to the graph of ff at point PP. Express the equation in point–slope form. c. Determine the equation of the line normal to the graph of ff at point PP. Express the equation in slope–intercept form.
