Derivative of e?

Question

i need to find the derivative of
e^ktan(square-root of 3)

i got a long and complicated answer, which i thought was right due to using the chain rule for derivatives, but it was apparently wrong, could someone help me please? thanks

Answer 1

all constants are equal to 0 if there was an x in there equation youd have to solve it!

Answer 2

D/dx e^u = (e^u)du
d/dk e^(ktan(3)^.5)=e^(ktan(3)^.5)(k)
repeat the function, then multiply by the derivative of the exponent. tan(3^.5) is just a constant, so the answer is actually pretty concise.

Answer 3

e is a constant, √3 is a constant and so is tan(√3).

If k is the variable, what you have is [e^tan(√3)]^k
a constant raised to a power.

If k is also a constant, then the whole thing is a constant; its derivative is 0.
