|dw:1368585766255:dw| so, we first have to find its derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, what do you get for the derivative? notice that you wil have to use the product rule here since there are two things multiplying eachother

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not familiar with the product rule we have only learned the chain rule so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we are justbeginning to learn how to do the chain rule so do you mind walking me through it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ {d\over dx}(u\cdot v)=u'v+uv' \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this problem, you have \[x\cdot e^{2x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok yup I am following

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now, apply the formula I showed above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be x v+u e^2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, when I said that, I meant \[u=x\\v =e^{2x}\\ {d\over dx}(xe^{2x})={d\over dx}(x)e^{2x}+x{d\over dx}(e^{2x}) \]kapeesh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I put them in the form when you did the v'u thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got what you mean though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep all you gotta do is simplify that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2(e2x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? lets see your steps ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and use the equation editor, will ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I took the x's and combined to make x^2 then I combined e^2x oh that should be e^4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? no no wayy off there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I amconfussed then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

steps: look at what I wrote, derivative of "x" times \(e^{2x}\) + x times derivative of \(e^{2x}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then what
