Apply the product rule:
dxdf(x)g(x)=f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=e3x; to find dxdf(x):
-
Let u=3x.
-
The derivative of eu is itself.
-
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by dxd3x:
-
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
-
Apply the power rule: x goes to 1
So, the result is: 3
The result of the chain rule is:
g(x)=sin(x)+cos(x); to find dxdg(x):
-
Differentiate sin(x)+cos(x) term by term:
-
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
dxdcos(x)=−sin(x)
-
The derivative of sine is cosine:
dxdsin(x)=cos(x)
The result is: −sin(x)+cos(x)
The result is: (−sin(x)+cos(x))e3x+3(sin(x)+cos(x))e3x
