00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.017
Here is the problem: derivative of e to the power sin x).

2
00:00:04.467 --> 00:00:08.728
Find the derivative of e to the power sin(x)) with respect to x.

3
00:00:09.528 --> 00:00:17.272
Exponential rule: d by d x[eᵘ] equals eᵘ times u prime.

4
00:00:17.722 --> 00:00:20.775
d by d x[sin x] equals cos x.

5
00:00:21.225 --> 00:00:22.769
Combine and simplify.

6
00:00:23.569 --> 00:00:29.142
So the answer is f prime of x equals e to the power sin(x) times cos(x).

7
00:00:29.592 --> 00:00:42.456
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).

8
00:00:43.256 --> 00:00:49.850
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
