Find the Derivative - d/dx x^2+5x

Problem

d()/d(x)*(x2+5*x)

Solution

1. Identify the rule needed for the expression, which is the sum rule for derivatives.

2. Apply the sum rule by taking the derivative of each term individually.

d(x2)/d(x)+(d(5)*x)/d(x)

3. Apply the power rule to the first term, where d(xn)/d(x)=n*x(n−1)

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

4. Apply the constant multiple rule to the second term, where (d(c)*x)/d(x)=c

(d(5)*x)/d(x)=5

5. Combine the results to find the final derivative.

2*x+5

Final Answer

d()/d(x)*(x2+5*x)=2*x+5
