Find the Derivative - d/dx (x^2-5x+2)(5x^3-x^2+5)
Problem
Solution
Identify the product rule for differentiation, which states that for two functions
u andv d()/d(x)*u*v=ud(v)/d(x)+vd(u)/d(x) Assign the functions
u=x2−5*x+2 andv=5*x3−x2+5 Differentiate
u to findd(u)/d(x)=2*x−5 Differentiate
v to findd(v)/d(x)=15*x2−2*x Substitute these components into the product rule formula.
Expand the first term
(x2−5*x+2)*(15*x2−2*x)
Expand the second term
(5*x3−x2+5)*(2*x−5)
Combine the expanded terms and simplify by adding like terms.
