Consider e^(Cos(x))^4 thats e to cos x to the 4th btw
Differentiate completely:
EDIT: also could you NOT do it in dy/dx du/dx form cuz that just confuses. me lol.....

in this case df/dx is -sin(x)*e^cos(x) | ||

Derivative of [u(x)]^4 is 4[u(x)]^3 times the derivative of u(x) So: f(x)=[e^(cos(x)]^4 f'(x)=4[e^(cos(x)]^3 * [e^(cos(x)]' f'(x)=4[e^(cos(x)]^3 * -sin(x)[e^(cos(x)] Be sure you remember what is the derivative of e^u(x). No need to be confused by dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx and stuff like that. Know the derivative operators. No real math involved here. Just remember the symbols eventhough there are several with the same meaning. could have sworn it was outer * derivative of inner + inner * derivative of outer Yes, product rule confusing. (f*g)' = f*g' + f'*g | ||

In the beginning I found dy/dx form confusing but as you go on in math it will make sense and in fact be less confusing. Example: f = 35x+27y-3z, WTF is f ' ?? | ||

In that case it doesnt make sense to ask what f' is. There is no single derivative. You could ask what is the partial derivative with respect to x or y or z, but to just ask for a derivative makes no sense. Unless of course 2 of those symbols are actually constants and not variables, but I assume you meant for all 3 to be variables. | ||
