Find dy/Dx by logarithmic differatiation of the integral of dx/e^x

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

?? What does that even mean? How does y relate to x? Did you write "Dx" on purpose or should it be "dx"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No need to be rude, it was a typo yes it should be dx

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Not being rude at all. The question simply makes no sense. Can you type in the whole, complete, exact problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the problem, word for word, I can't input symbols like the integral though

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

We are to evaluate \(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\int\dfrac{dx}{e^{x}}\)? Really?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're are finding dy/dx by using logarithmic differentiatio, so yes

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Very odd. 1) There is no need for logarithmic differentiation, so I have to wonder if we have the right problem. Maybe it's printed incorrectly? 2) It just isn't clear if y IS the integral or somehow, part of it, or some odd chunk of the derivative notation. 3) \(\dfrac{d}{dx}\int \dfrac{dx}{e^{x}} = e^{-x}\) Are there surrounding problems that might give a clue to what it wants?
