Can you apply product rule to : \[\Large f(x)=e^{x}.sin(x)+e^{x}.cos(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should first take e^x common: \[f(x) = e^x(\sin(x) + \cos(x))\] \[f'(x) = e^x(\cos(x)-\sin(x)) + (\sin(x) + \cos(x)).e^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is your answer is like that ? how we applied it... \[f^{(2)}(x)=e^{x}.sin(x)+e^{x}.cos(x)+e^{x}.cos(x)-e^{x}.sin(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes this is absolutely correct..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i dont get how we used this rule here \[f^{'}(x)=u^{'}v+uv^{'}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See, you can write the given function as: \[f(x) = e^x(sinx + cosx)\] Till here you got??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here, \(u = e^x\) and \(v = (sinx + cosx)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, \[f'(x) = e^x \frac{d}{dx}(sinx + cosx) + (sinx + cosx) \frac{d}{dx}(e^x)\] Right till here??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm i get confused..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the function of \[\frac{d}{dx}\] is not so clear to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is according to your definition.. See, \[f'(x) = u.v' + v.u'\] \(\frac{d}{dx}\) It is called derivative..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{d}{dx}(sinx + cosx) = \frac{d}{dx}sinx + \frac{d}{dx}cosx = cosx - sinx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and: \[\frac{d}{dx}(e^x) = e^x\] It remains same..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got here..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and one step above..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{d}{dx}sinx = cosx\] \[\frac{d}{dx}cosx = -sinx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats ok..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe i get it now...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, substitute these values in that function: \[f'(x) = e^x(cosx - sinx) + (sinx + cosx).e^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just distribute e^x to the brackets you will get your answer..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you very much i think i am so near to undrstand,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Concentrate you will surely get this..
