Would you differentiate this one differently than the last problem?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

\[\LARGE f(x)=cosh(lnx)\]

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

nope same idea

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

sub then chain rule

OpenStudy (kainui):

I'd probably change it knowing\[\cosh(t)=\frac{ e^t+e^{-t} }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually take in exponential form

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

Honestly works either way I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\cosh(lnx)=\frac{ e^(lnx)+e^-(lnx) }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e^lnx=x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e^-lnx=1/x

OpenStudy (kainui):

Yeah pretty much preference here.

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

the exponential is probably simpler

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

btw @g17 , if you use {} around your lnx it'll stay in the exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i will do it next time

OpenStudy (kainui):

@Luigi0210 the chain rule is a general rule that I believe you can show to yourself just using the definition of a derivative with d/dx(f(g(x)))=f'(g(x))*g'(x)

Alright, just making sure, thanks!
