derivative of

\frac{4}{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}}

- \frac{4 ( e ^{x} - e ^{- x} )}{( e ^{x} + e ^{- x} ) ^{2}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{4}{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}})

Take the constant out:

(a \cdot f)^{'} = a \cdot f^{'}

= 4 \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}})

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{1}{a} = a^{- 1}

= 4 \frac{d}{d x} ((e^{x} + e^{- x})^{- 1})

Apply the chain rule:

- \frac{1}{( e ^{x} + e ^{- x} ) ^{2}} \frac{d}{d x} (e^{x} + e^{- x})

= - \frac{1}{( e ^{x} + e ^{- x} ) ^{2}} \frac{d}{d x} (e^{x} + e^{- x})

\frac{d}{d x} (e^{x} + e^{- x}) = e^{x} - e^{- x}

= 4 (- \frac{1}{( e ^{x} + e ^{- x} ) ^{2}} (e^{x} - e^{- x}))

Simplify

4 (- \frac{1}{( e ^{x} + e ^{- x} ) ^{2}} (e^{x} - e^{- x})) : - \frac{4 ( e ^{x} - e ^{- x} )}{( e ^{x} + e ^{- x} ) ^{2}}

= - \frac{4 ( e ^{x} - e ^{- x} )}{( e ^{x} + e ^{- x} ) ^{2}}
