Derivative help

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\large y=e^{\sqrt x}(\log(cosx))\]

OpenStudy (dls):

\[e^{\sqrt x} (\log(\cos x)) \times \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}} \times \frac{1}{cosx} \times - sinx\]

OpenStudy (dls):

yes thats DE?

OpenStudy (dls):

we are finding the derivative

OpenStudy (nubeer):

hmm it's not DE.. in DE mostly the question is a derivative and u basically have to integrate or what so ever other methods u have to apply according to question

OpenStudy (dls):

thanks,sorry

OpenStudy (hba):

lol

OpenStudy (dls):

lol

OpenStudy (hba):

Lets get back to your question :)

OpenStudy (dls):

i think theres a e^sqrt x missing with tanx,not sure..thats in the solution..buthow

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

there are two factors, e^{sqrt x} and log {cos x}, so use the product rule also each factor is a chain, so chain rule apply to the two factors.

OpenStudy (dls):

it just got complex e.e

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

yeah. it's chain rule and product rule in one problem.

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

let's put \[\large u=e^\sqrt x; \space v= \log (\cos x)\] and compute u' and v' by chain rule.

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

\[\large u \prime=e^\sqrt x \left( \frac{ 1 }{ 2\sqrt x } \right)=\frac{ e^\sqrt x }{ 2\sqrt x }\]\[\large v \prime =\frac{-\sin x }{ \cos x }=-\tan x\] just sub u, u', v and v' in the formula \[\large y \prime = D(uv)=u \prime v +v \prime u\]

OpenStudy (dls):

why didn't we solve log(cosx) with UV method?
