Answer

$$f_x = - \pi e^{-t}sin \pi x $$ $$f_t = - e^{-t}cos \pi x $$

Work Step by Step

$$f(x,t) = e^{-t}cos \pi x$$ $$u = \pi x, u' = \pi$$ $$f_x = (e^{-t})(-sin\pi x)(\pi)$$ $e^{-t}$ is constant. (cos u)' = (- sin u) * u' $$u = -t, u' = -1$$ $$f_t = -e^{-t}cos \pi x$$ $cos \pi x$ is constant. $(e^u)' = (u')(e^{u})$
