Textbook Question
Find the derivative of the following functions.
y = e^-x sin x

1
Identify the function to differentiate: y = e^{-x} imes ext{sin}(x). This is a product of two functions: e^{-x} and sin(x).
Apply the product rule for differentiation, which states that if you have two functions u(x) and v(x), then the derivative is given by: (u imes v)' = u'v + uv'.
Let u = e^{-x} and v = ext{sin}(x). Now, find the derivatives of u and v: u' = -e^{-x} and v' = ext{cos}(x).
Substitute u, u', v, and v' into the product rule formula: y' = (-e^{-x}) imes ext{sin}(x) + e^{-x} imes ext{cos}(x).
Simplify the expression if necessary, combining like terms or factoring out common factors.
