Q.
Let
f
(
x
)
=
x
2
e
x
f(x)=x^{2} e^{x}
f
(
x
)
=
x

\newline
f

=
f^{\prime}(x)=
f

x
)
=
Identify rule:
Identify the rule to use for differentiation; here, we need the product rule since
f
(
x
)
f(x)
f
(
x
)
is the product of two functions,
x
2
x^2
x
2
and
e
x
e^x
e
x
.
Apply product rule:
Apply the product rule:
(
u
∗
v
)
′
=
u
′
v
+
u
v
′
(u*v)' = u'v + uv'
(
u
∗
v
)
′
=
u
′
v
+
u
v
′
, where
u
=
x
2
u = x^2
u
=
x
2
and
v
=
e
x
v = e^x
v
=
e
x
.
Differentiate
u
u
u
:
Differentiate
u
=
x
2
u = x^2
u
=
x
2
to get
u
′
=
2
x
u' = 2x
u
′
=
2
x
.
Differentiate
v
v
v
:
Differentiate
v
=
e
x
v = e^x
v
=
e
x
to get
v
′
=
e
x
v' = e^x
v
′
=
e
x
.
Plug into formula:
Plug
u
′
u'
u
′
,
u
u
u
,
v
′
v'
v
′
, and
v
v
v
into the product rule formula:
f
′
(
x
)
=
2
x
⋅
e
x
+
x
2
⋅
e
x
f'(x) = 2x \cdot e^x + x^2 \cdot e^x
f
′
(
x
)
=
2
x
⋅
e
x
+
x
2
⋅
e
x
.
Simplify expression:
Combine like terms to simplify the expression:
f
′
(
x
)
=
(
2
x
+
x
2
)
⋅
e
x
f'(x) = (2x + x^2) \cdot e^x
f
′
(
x
)
=
(
2
x
+
x
2
)
⋅
e
x
.
Correct mistake:
Realize there's a mistake in the previous step; we don't actually combine terms like that. Correct the expression:
f
′
(
x
)
=
2
x
⋅
e
x
+
x
2
⋅
e
x
f'(x) = 2x \cdot e^x + x^2 \cdot e^x
f
′
(
x
)
=
2
x
⋅
e
x
+
x
2
⋅
e
x
.
