Find the Derivative - d/dx y=x^12e^x

Problem

d()/d(x)*x12*ex

Solution

1. Identify the rule needed for the derivative. Since the expression is a product of two functions, u=x12 and v=ex use the product rule.

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

3. Differentiate the individual components. The derivative of x12 is 12*x11 using the power rule, and the derivative of ex is ex

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

(d(x12)*ex)/d(x)=x12d(ex)/d(x)+exd(x12)/d(x)

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

(d(x12)*ex)/d(x)=x12*ex+ex*(12*x11)

(d(x12)*ex)/d(x)=x11*ex*(x+12)

Final Answer

(d(x12)*ex)/d(x)=x11*ex*(x+12)
