NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 5 Continuity And Differentiability · Exercise 5.4 Question 4

Differentiate \(\frac{e^{- x}}{\sqrt{1 + e^{- 2 x}}}\) with respect to x; on R.

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
  2. Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(- \frac{e^{2 x}}{\left(e^{2 x} + 1\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\)
  1. Work on R.
  2. Product rule: differentiate each variable factor once, keeping the other factors unchanged. Here \(\frac{d}{d x} \frac{e^{- x}}{\sqrt{1 + e^{- 2 x}}}\) = \(- \frac{e^{- x}}{\sqrt{1 + e^{- 2 x}}} + \frac{e^{- 3 x}}{\left(1 + e^{- 2 x}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\).
  3. Combining the terms gives y′ = \(- \frac{e^{2 x}}{\left(e^{2 x} + 1\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\).
