Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem in the image asks to determine given the following conditions:
- is a function such that and .
- The function .
We are asked to find .
Step-by-step solution:
To solve for , we'll use the product rule of differentiation, since is a product of two functions: and .
The product rule states:
Let's differentiate each term:
-
The derivative of is:
-
The derivative of is .
Now, applying the product rule:
To find , substitute , , and :
Thus, the value of is .
