The easiest way to do this is simply to solve for the derivative of f , then evaluate it at x = 5 . We note that the function can be written as a composition of functions, and thus is solvable using chain rule:
d x d f ( x ) = e ( 2 sin ( x ( 3 lo g 5 ) ) ) ∗ 2 cos ( x ( 3 lo g 5 ) ) ∗ ( 3 lo g 5 ) x ( 3 lo g 5 − 1 )
Evaluating at x = 5 , being careful with entering the numbers in our calculator, we get an approximate answer of -6572.05.
