How do you differentiate # f(x)= (e^x-e^-x) / 2#? Calculus Differentiating Exponential Functions Differentiating Exponential Functions with Base e 1 Answer Eddie Aug 1, 2016 #= (e^x+e^-x) / 2# Explanation: #d/dx ((e^x-e^-x) / 2)# #= d/dx (e^x/2) - d/dx( (e^-x) / 2)# #= e^x/2 - (-e^-x) / 2# #= (e^x+e^-x) / 2# or if you like..... #d/dx ((e^x-e^-x) / 2)# #= d/dx sinh x# #= cosh x# #= (e^x+e^-x) / 2# Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of #y=3x^2e^(5x)# ?
