derivative of

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

(f \pm g)^{'} = f^{'} \pm g^{'}

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

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

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

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