HELP SOMEBODY!! derivate this!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2\cos ^{3} (\sqrt{e ^{4t}})\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you could change the sqrt to an exponent .. but its seems to be just a practice in chain rule application

OpenStudy (amistre64):

say \[f=2cos^3(u)\] what is the derivative of f with respect to u?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac{df}{du}=[2cos^3(u)]'\] \[\frac{df}{du}\frac{du}{dt}=[2cos^3(u)]'\frac{du}{dt}\] \[\frac{df}{dt}=[2cos^3(u)]'\frac{du}{dt}\] \[\frac{df}{dt}=[2cos^3(u)]'~u'\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But How should I derivate e\[\sqrt{x ^{4t}}\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats \[\sqrt{e^{4t}}\] or simply \[\sqrt{e^{4t}}\color{red}{\implies}e^{4t/2}\color{red}{\implies}e^{2t}\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if u = e^(2t); u' = 2 e^(2t)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac{df}{dt}=[2cos^3(u)]'~u'\] \[\frac{df}{dt}=[2cos^3(\sqrt{e^{4t}})]'~(\sqrt{e^{4t}})'\] \[\frac{df}{dt}=[2cos^3(\sqrt{e^{4t}})]'~(e^{2t})'\] \[\frac{df}{dt}=-12e^{2t}~~\sin(\sqrt{e^{4t}})\cos^2(\sqrt{e^{4t}})\]
