#\frac{d}{dx}cos(e^x)=-sin(e^x)e^x#.

Explanation:

Chain rule says that

#\frac{d}{dx}f[g(x)]=f'[g(x)]g'(x)#.

Our #f# is the cosine and our #g# is the exponential.
The derivative of #cos# is #-sin#, while the derivative of the exponential is the exponential, so we have

#\frac{d}{dx}cos(e^x)=-sin(e^x)e^x#.
