Find the Derivative - d/dx x^2e^x

Problem

(d(x^2)*e^x)/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the rule needed for the derivative of a product of two functions, u(x)=x^2 and v(x)=e^x

2. Apply the product rule, which states (d(u)*v)/d(x)=ud(v)/d(x)+vd(u)/d(x)

3. Differentiate the individual components: d(x^2)/d(x)=2*x and d(e^x)/d(x)=e^x

4. Substitute these derivatives back into the product rule formula: x(e^x)^2+e^x*(2*x)

5. Factor out the common term x*e^x to simplify the expression.

Final Answer

(d(x^2)*e^x)/d(x)=x^2*e^x+2*x*e^x
