not to bad but kind of ugly chain rule for this one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is the derivative of \(\cosh(x)\) ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-sin h (x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no i don't think so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is what i got... -sinh(1/(x+e^x) (1x+e^x)^-2 + (1+e^x)

you are getting that confused with the derivative of sine being minus cosine
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i thought the derivative of sin is just cos
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the derivative of \(\cosh(x)\) is \(\sinh(x)\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and the derivative of cos is negative sin
OpenStudy (anonymous):
really?

yeah i wrote that backwards
what i meant is you are getting it confused with the derivative of cosine being minus sine
OpenStudy (anonymous):
woahhh i didn't know that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is it just what i wrote negated.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sinh(1/(x+e^x))(x+e^x)^-2+1+e^x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then you need the chain rule

you get
\[\sinh(\frac{1}{x+e^x})\times \frac{d}{dx}[\frac{1}{x+e^x}]\]
