Math Problem Statement

dx/1+e^x

Solution

It seems like you're asking for the derivative of the expression dx1+ex\frac{dx}{1 + e^x}. Let's interpret this and proceed accordingly.

Assuming you meant the derivative of 11+ex\frac{1}{1 + e^x}, we can apply the chain rule.

Let’s solve the derivative of f(x)=11+exf(x) = \frac{1}{1 + e^x}:

  1. Rewrite the function as:
    f(x)=(1+ex)1f(x) = (1 + e^x)^{-1}

  2. Differentiate using the chain rule: f(x)=(1+ex)2exf'(x) = - (1 + e^x)^{-2} \cdot e^x

So, the derivative is: f(x)=ex(1+ex)2f'(x) = \frac{-e^x}{(1 + e^x)^2}

Would you like more details on how the chain rule was applied, or any other clarifications?

Here are five related questions to consider:

  1. What is the derivative of exe^x?
  2. How does the chain rule work in calculus?
  3. What is the second derivative of 11+ex\frac{1}{1 + e^x}?
  4. Can you apply the quotient rule to 11+ex\frac{1}{1 + e^x}?
  5. What is the integral of 11+ex\frac{1}{1 + e^x}?

Tip: When differentiating expressions with exponential functions, remember that the derivative of exe^x is always exe^x.
