Apply the product rule:
dxdf(x)g(x)=f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=ex; to find dxdf(x):
-
The derivative of ex is itself.
g(x)=sin(x)−cos(x); to find dxdg(x):
-
Differentiate sin(x)−cos(x) term by term:
-
The derivative of sine is cosine:
dxdsin(x)=cos(x)
-
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
-
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
dxdcos(x)=−sin(x)
So, the result is: sin(x)
The result is: sin(x)+cos(x)
The result is: (sin(x)−cos(x))ex+(sin(x)+cos(x))ex
