Correct Answer :

-16 sin⁡2x eᶜᵒˢ⁡²ˣ

Solution :

The correct option is -16 sin2x ecos2x.

To differentiate the given function with respect to x, we will use the chain rule of differentiation. Let the function be represented as:
y=8ecos(2x)

First, we apply the constant multiple rule of differentiation, which allows us to pull out the constant coefficient:
dydx=8ddx(ecos(2x))

Next, we apply the chain rule to differentiate the exponential function eu(x), where u(x)=cos(2x). The derivative of eu with respect to x is eududx:
ddx(ecos(2x))=ecos(2x)ddx(cos(2x))

Now, we find the derivative of the trigonometric part, cos(2x), by applying the chain rule once again:
ddx(cos(2x))=sin(2x)ddx(2x)
Since the derivative of 2x is 2, we have:
ddx(cos(2x))=2sin(2x)

Substituting this derivative back into our primary expression yields:
dydx=8(ecos(2x)(2sin(2x)))
Simplifying the constant terms by multiplying 8 and 2 gives the final derivative:
dydx=16sin(2x)ecos(2x)
