Find the Derivative - d/d@VAR f(x)=x^2 natural log of x
Problem
Solution
Identify the function as a product of two terms,
u=x2 andv=ln(x) which requires the product rule.Recall the product rule formula for differentiation:
(d(u)*v)/d(x)=ud(v)/d(x)+vd(u)/d(x) Differentiate the individual components:
d(x2)/d(x)=2*x andd(ln(x))/d(x)=1/x Substitute these components into the product rule formula:
x2⋅1/x+ln(x)⋅2*x Simplify the resulting expression by canceling
x in the first term and rearranging the second term.
