Derivative of
The derivative of is .
f(x) =
Type any function of x; the derivative is computed symbolically in your browser.
How to work it out
- 1
We differentiate with respect to x. The rule that applies is the product rule.

\[ \frac{d}{dx}\left[\sin\left(x\right) e^{x}\right] = \cos\left(x\right) e^{x} + \sin\left(x\right) e^{x} \]
\[ f(x) = \sin\left(x\right) e^{x} \]
\[ u = \sin\left(x\right),\quad v = e^{x} \]
\[ u' = \cos\left(x\right),\quad v' = e^{x} \]
\[ f'(x) = \left(\cos\left(x\right)\right)\left(e^{x}\right) + \left(\sin\left(x\right)\right)\left(e^{x}\right) \]
\[ f'(x) = \cos\left(x\right) e^{x} + \sin\left(x\right) e^{x} \]
\[ f''(x) = -\left(\sin\left(x\right) e^{x}\right) + \cos\left(x\right) e^{x} + \cos\left(x\right) e^{x} + \sin\left(x\right) e^{x} \]Values of f and f' for sin(x) * exp(x)
