Q. Find the derivative of the following function.y=e2x6+2x5Answer: y′=
Identify Function: Identify the function to differentiate.We are given the function y=e2x6+2x5. We need to find its derivative with respect to x.
Apply Chain Rule: Apply the chain rule for differentiation. The chain rule states that the derivative of eu, where u is a function of x, is eu times the derivative of u with respect to x. In this case, u=2x6+2x5.
Differentiate Inner Function: Differentiate the inner function u=2x6+2x5 with respect to x. The derivative of 2x6 with respect to x is 12x5, and the derivative of 2x5 with respect to x is 10x4. So, the derivative of u with respect to x is x0.
Multiply by eu: Multiply the derivative of the inner function by eu to get the derivative of y. Using the chain rule from Step 2, we multiply e(2x6+2x5) by the derivative of the inner function (12x5+10x4) to get the derivative of y. y′=e(2x6+2x5)⋅(12x5+10x4)
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression if possible.In this case, the expression is already simplified, so we can state the final answer.y′=e2x6+2x5⋅(12x5+10x4)
