Question

Find the derivative of f(x)=e^2x-5(X+3)

Answer 1

find the derivative of \[f(x)=e^{2x-5}(x+3)\]

Answer 2

So we have the product rule here :D
Are you familiar with that?

Answer 3

Hey Zepdrix, I think so yes

Answer 4

what I have so far is
(e^2x-5)(x+3) + (e^2x-5)(1)=
xe^2x-5 + 3e^2x-5+e^2x-5 =
xe^2x-5 + 4e^2x-5=
e^2x-5(x+4)

Answer 5

Your derivative of the exponential term in the first part has a small mistake.
When you take the derivative of e^(something)
Yes, you get back e^(something).. but you also need to apply the chain rule,

You will end up with (derivative of something)*e^(something)

Answer 6

OK...Thanks

Answer 7

Uh oh you sound confused XD
