how would i find the derivative of e^2θ
 
Physics news on Phys.org


the only thing that confuses me is the 2 theta part
 


Use the chain rule. d/dt(e^(u(t)))=e^(u(t))*du(t)/dt. u(t)=2*t.
 


ok i'll use it
 


wow their was an example in my book and for some reason i missed it but thanks for reminding me about the chain rule
 


Well isn't the derivative of e^x, e^x?
 


yes it is
