dy/dx=2e^xcosxdydx=2excosx

Explanation:

differentiate using the color(blue)"product rule"product rule

"Given "y=g(x).h(x)" then"Given y=g(x).h(x) then

color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(dy/dx=g(x)h'(x)+h(x)g'(x))color(white)(2/2)|)))

"here "g(x)=e^xrArrg'(x)=e^x

"and "h(x)=sinx+cosxrArrg'(x)=cosx-sinx

rArrdy/dx=e^x(cosx-sinx)+e^x(sinx+cosx)

color(white)(xxxxx)=e^xcosxcancel(-e^xsinx)cancel(e^xsinx)+e^xcosx

color(white)(xxxxx)=2e^xcosx
