Asimov Pupil Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 [math]y=e^{sinx}[/math] find [math]\frac{dy}{dx}[/math] i know it equals [math]e^{sin(x)}cos(x)[/math] very easy question but my teacher did it out in her haed so i want to see the right prosess
Johnny5 Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 [math]y=e^{sinx}[/math] find [math]\frac{dy}{dx}[/math] i know it equals [math]e^{sin(x)}cos(x)[/math] very easy question but my teacher did it out in her haed so i want to see the right prosess d/dx eU = eU dU/dx in this case U(x)=sin x' date=' so provided you already know that d/dx(sin x) = cos x, then the answer, in your head will be: cos x e[sup']sin x[/sup] Chain rule.

Crash Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 well e^x differentiated is itself but you bring the power down and differentiate that, thats where the cos(X) comes from
