Find dy/dx y=x^2e^x

Problem

d()/d(x)*x2*ex

Solution

1. Identify the rule needed for differentiation. Since the expression is a product of two functions, u=x2 and v=ex use the product rule.

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

3. Differentiate the individual components. The derivative of x2 is 2*x and the derivative of ex is ex

4. Substitute these derivatives back into the product rule formula.

d(y)/d(x)=x2d(ex)/d(x)+exd(x2)/d(x)

5. Simplify the expression by performing the differentiation and factoring out common terms.

d(y)/d(x)=x2*ex+2*x*ex

d(y)/d(x)=x*ex*(x+2)

Final Answer

(d(x2)*ex)/d(x)=x2*ex+2*x*ex
