Differentiate the following w.r.t. x: log(cos ex)
Solution and Explanation
Let y=log(cos ex)
By using the chain rule, we obtain
\(\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[log(cos e^x]\)
=\(\frac{1}{cose^x}.\frac{d}{dx}(cose^x)\)
=\(\frac{1}{cose^x}.(-sin e^x).\frac{d}{dx}(e^x)\)
=\(\frac{-sin e^x}{cos e^x}.e^x\)
=-\(e^x tan e^x,e^x\)≠\((2n+1)\frac{\pi}{2},\)\(nεN\)

Amines are usually formed from amides, imides, halides, nitro compounds, etc. They exhibit hydrogen bonding which influences their physical properties. In alkyl amines, a combination of electron releasing, steric and H-bonding factors influence the stability of the substituted ammonium cations in protic polar solvents and thus affect the basic nature of amines. Alkyl amines are found to be stronger bases than ammonia. Amines being basic in nature, react with acids to form salts. Aryldiazonium salts, undergo replacement of the diazonium group with a variety of nucleophiles to produce aryl halides, cyanides, phenols and arenes.

Concepts Used:
Continuity & Differentiability
Definition of Differentiability
f(x) is said to be differentiable at the point x = a, if the derivative f ‘(a) be at every point in its domain. It is given by
Definition of Continuity
Mathematically, a function is said to be continuous at a point x = a, if
It is implicit that if the left-hand limit (L.H.L), right-hand limit (R.H.L), and the value of the function at x=a exist and these parameters are equal to each other, then the function f is said to be continuous at x=a.
If the function is unspecified or does not exist, then we say that the function is discontinuous.
