use a chain rule to find the derivative of f(x)=e^3x

Given f(x) = e^3x


We need to
find the first derivative f'(x) using the chain rule.


We
will assume that u= 3x ==> u' = 3


==> f(x) =
e^u


==> Now we will
differentiate:


==> f(x) = (e^u)' = u' * e^u
du


==> Now we will substitute with
x.


==> f(x) =  3 ** e^3x =
3*e^3x


Thenthe derivative of f(x) is f'(x) =
3*e^3x

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
