Find derivative of
y=e^(cos(t)+lnt)

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


So just using the chain rule:
y'=e^(cos(t)+lnt)*(-sin(t)+1/t)
The answer in the back of the book is
y'=e^(cos(t))*(1-tsin(t))

Just trying to figure out where I went wrong or if these are just two forms of the same answer?
