=excos(x2)2xexsin(x2)+exsin(x)+excos(x)

Explanation:

Product rule is our friend here.

ddx(excos(x2))+ddx(exsin(x))

=ddx(ex)cos(x2)+exddx(cos(x2))+ddx(ex)sin(x)+exddx(sin(x))

=excos(x2)2xexsin(x2)+exsin(x)+excos(x)

NB: for ddx(cos(x2)) I have used the chain rule because x2 is also a function of x
