Q. Find the derivative of the following function.y=e5x5Answer: y′=
Identify Function & Rule: Identify the function and the rule to use for differentiation.We have the function y=e5x5. To find the derivative, we will use the chain rule, which states that the derivative of a composite function is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function times the derivative of the inner function.
Apply Chain Rule: Apply the chain rule to differentiate the function. The outer function is eu where u=5x5. The derivative of eu with respect to u is eu. The inner function is u=5x5. The derivative of u with respect to x is 5⋅(5x5−1)=25x4. Now, we multiply the derivative of the outer function by the derivative of the inner function. y′=e5x5⋅25x4
Simplify Derivative: Simplify the expression for the derivative.y′=25x4⋅e5x5This is the simplified form of the derivative.
