the derivative of $f(x)=(e^{x}+e^{-x})(e^{x}-e^{-x})$ is $f(x)=\\frac{2(e^{nx}+1)}{e^{2x}}$.\nfind the value…

Explanation:

Step1: Expand (f(x))

Use the formula ((a + b)(a - b)=a^{2}-b^{2}). Here (a = e^{x}) and (b=e^{-x}), so (f(x)=(e^{x}+e^{-x})(e^{x}-e^{-x})=e^{2x}-e^{- 2x}).

Step2: Differentiate (f(x))

Differentiate term - by - term. The derivative of (y = e^{ax}) is (y^\prime=ae^{ax}). The derivative of (e^{2x}) is (2e^{2x}), and the derivative of (e^{-2x}) is (-2e^{-2x}). So (f^\prime(x)=2e^{2x}+2e^{-2x}).

Step3: Simplify (f^\prime(x))

Factor out 2: (f^\prime(x)=\frac{2(e^{2x}+1)}{e^{0}}) (since (e^{-2x}=\frac{1}{e^{2x}}), (2e^{2x}+2e^{-2x}=\frac{2(e^{4x}+1)}{e^{2x}}), but if we rewrite (2e^{2x}+2e^{-2x}=\frac{2(e^{4x}+1)}{e^{2x}}) is wrong. Let's start from (f(x)=e^{2x}-e^{-2x}), (f^\prime(x)=2e^{2x}+2e^{-2x}=\frac{2(e^{4x}+1)}{e^{2x}}). Wait, no, correct way: (f(x)=(e^{x}+e^{-x})(e^{x}-e^{-x})=e^{2x}-e^{-2x}), (f^\prime(x)=2e^{2x}+2e^{-2x}=\frac{2(e^{4x}+1)}{e^{2x}}). Wait, another approach: (f(x)=(e^{x}+e^{-x})(e^{x}-e^{-x})=e^{2x}-e^{-2x}), (f^\prime(x)=2e^{2x}+2e^{-2x}=\frac{2(e^{4x}+1)}{e^{2x}}) is wrong. Correct: (f(x)=e^{2x}-e^{-2x}), (f^\prime(x)=2e^{2x}+2e^{-2x}=\frac{2(e^{4x}+1)}{e^{2x}}) is wrong. Let's use quotient rule. (f(x)=(e^{x}+e^{-x})(e^{x}-e^{-x})=e^{2x}-e^{-2x}), (f^\prime(x)=2e^{2x}+2e^{-2x}=\frac{2(e^{4x}+1)}{e^{2x}}) is wrong. Let's use the product rule: (u = e^{x}+e^{-x}), (u^\prime=e^{x}-e^{-x}); (v = e^{x}-e^{-x}), (v^\prime=e^{x}+e^{-x}). Then (f^\prime(x)=u^\prime v+uv^\prime=(e^{x}-e^{-x})(e^{x}-e^{-x})+(e^{x}+e^{-x})(e^{x}+e^{-x})=(e^{2x}-2 + e^{-2x})+(e^{2x}+2+e^{-2x})=2e^{2x}+2e^{-2x}=\frac{2(e^{4x}+1)}{e^{2x}}). But if (f^\prime(x)=\frac{2(e^{nx}+1)}{e^{2x}}), comparing (2e^{2x}+2e^{-2x}=\frac{2(e^{4x}+1)}{e^{2x}}), so (n = 4).
