Chain Rule With Exponential and Trig Functions

Mark
< Prev
Next >

Which of the following describes the correct application of the chain rule to find the derivative of the function y=sin⁡(e2x)y=\sin(e^{2x})?

A

Differentiate e2∗xe^{2*x} first, then apply the derivative of sine directly without the proper chain rule for sin⁡(u)\sin(u), and multiply by 2∗x2*x

B

Identify the layers: outer sin⁡(u)\sin(u), inner e2∗xe^{2*x}, and innermost 2∗x2*x; differentiate the outer function to get cos⁡(e2∗x)\cos(e^{2*x}); differentiate e2∗xe^{2*x} to get 2∗e2∗x2*e^{2*x}; then multiply the derivatives

C

Differentiate sin⁡(e2∗x)\sin(e^{2*x}) and e2∗xe^{2*x} simultaneously, then multiply by 2 afterward, ignoring the nested structure

D

Treat e2∗xe^{2*x} as a constant, differentiate sin⁡(u)\sin(u) directly, and then multiply by the derivative of 2∗x2*x
