If y = ex cos x, prove that
.
Given y = excos(x)
On differentiating y with respect to x, we get
![]()
![]()
Recall that (uv)’ = vu’ + uv’ (product rule)
![]()
We know
and![]()
[chain rule]
![]()
![]()

![]()
![]()
We know ![]()
![]()
However, cos(A)cos(B) – sin(A)sin(B) = cos(A + B)
![]()
Thus, ![]()
