Question

Find the derivative of f(x)= e^(4x) + e^-(4x)

Answer 1

Answer:

$f'(x)=4e^{4x} -4e^{-4x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this derivative, we will need to use the chain rule.

As there is a variable in the exponent we can use this formula:

$f'(x)=u'e^u$

In this case, $u=4x$ and $u=-4x$

This means that $u'=4$ and $u'=-4$ respectively

This gives us $f'(x)=4e^{4x} -4e^{-4x}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

note : (e^(u(x))' = (u(x))'e^(u(x)

f(x)= e^(4x) + e^-(4x)

f'(x) =4e^(4x) - 4 e^-(4x)
