00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.908
Here is the problem: derivative of (e to the power e to the power x plus 1))(cos(x squared plus 1)).

2
00:00:07.358 --> 00:00:15.381
Find the derivative of (e to the power e to the power x plus 1)) (cos(x squared plus 1)) with respect to x.

3
00:00:16.180 --> 00:00:20.870
Product rule: (uv) prime equals u prime v plus uv prime.

4
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:26.533
Chain rule — d by d x[cos u] equals negative sin u times u prime.

5
00:00:26.983 --> 00:00:30.036
Sum rule: differentiate each term separately.

6
00:00:30.486 --> 00:00:37.185
Power rule: d by d x[x to the power n] equals n times x to the power n minus 1.

7
00:00:37.985 --> 00:00:45.891
Exponential rule: d by d x[eᵘ] equals eᵘ times u prime.

8
00:00:46.341 --> 00:00:49.476
Sum rule: differentiate each term separately.

9
00:00:49.926 --> 00:00:57.345
Exponential rule: d by d x[eᵘ] equals eᵘ times u prime.

10
00:00:57.795 --> 00:00:59.432
Combine and simplify.

11
00:01:00.232 --> 00:01:15.813
So the answer is f prime of x equals e to the power e to the power x plus 1 plus x) times cos(x squared plus 1) minus 2e to the power e to the power x plus 1) times sin(x squared plus 1) times x.

12
00:01:16.263 --> 00:01:29.022
The derivative is built from the outside in: sums split into terms, constants factor out, products and quotients use their rules, and every composite function multiplies by the derivative of its inside (chain rule).

13
00:01:29.822 --> 00:01:36.405
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
