$y = e^{\sin (x)}$

Step 1

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [f (g (x))]$ is $f' (g (x)) g' (x)$ where $f (x) = e^{x}$ and $g (x) = \sin (x)$ .

Step 1.1

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u$ as $\sin (x)$ .

$\frac{d}{d u} [e^{u}] \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)]$

Step 1.2

Differentiate using the Exponential Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d u} [a^{u}]$ is $a^{u} \ln (a)$ where $a$ = $e$ .

$e^{u} \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)]$

Step 1.3

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $\sin (x)$ .

$e^{\sin (x)} \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)]$

Step 2

The derivative of $\sin (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\cos (x)$ .

$e^{\sin (x)} \cos (x)$
