(a) Let g(x)g(x) be a differentiable function. Show that the derivative of the composite function E(x)=eg(x)E(x)=e^{g(x)} is E′(x)=g′(x) eg(x)E'(x)=g'(x)\,e^{g(x)}. (b) Hence explain why a function of the form g′(x) eg(x)g'(x)\,e^{g(x)} always possesses an antiderivative of the form eg(x)+Ce^{g(x)}+C, where CC is a constant of integration.
