Here is a solution. I used the power rule for one of the steps, which is shown as follows:
d x d ( x a ) = a • x a − 1
I also used the rule of multiplying exponents to get my final result - everyone knows that rule.
Here's the solution:
We have d x d e x e .
We start by applying the chain rule:
d x d f ( u ) = d u d f • d x d u
Let x e = u :
= d u d ( e u ) d x d ( x e )
Apply the common derivative to the first part:
d u d ( e u ) = e u
Apply the power rule to the second part:
d x d ( x e ) = e x e − 1
Now we have:
= e u e x e − 1
Substitute the original value of u back into u .
= e x e e x e − 1
Apply the exponent rule and simplify:
= e x e + 1 x e − 1
Hope this helped any who were confused about this problem!
Could you explain the step 'applying the common derivative to the first part' ?

Yes. So we have 2 "parts" here, e^u, and x^e. I applied the derivative with respect to u to e^u, which gives me that step. Then, I proceeded to apply the power rule to the second part, x^e, and solved from there.

When you applied derivative to e u with respect to u , how did you get e u ?

d x d e x e
Suppose x e = u
= d u d ( e u ) d x d ( x e )
= e u e x e − 1
Substituting u = x e
= e x e e x e − 1
= e x e + 1 x e − 1
