8. (a) Given that
$$\frac { \mathrm { d } } { \mathrm {~d} x } ( \cos x ) = - \sin x$$
show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } } { \mathrm { d } x } ( \sec x ) = \sec x \tan x\).
Given that
$$x = \sec 2 y$$
(b) find \(\frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} y }\) in terms of \(y\).
(c) Hence find \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\) in terms of \(x\).
