Question

How do i find the derivative of 
(x^2 -3x)e^x

shamil98 · Answer

$$(x^2 -3x)e^x$$

amistre64 · Answer

use product rule

anonymous · Answer

Use the Product Rule:

Keep in mind that the derivative of (x^2 - 3x) is just 2x-3.

What would I do with the e^x ?..

shamil98 · Answer

Oh, I'm still learning calc from a book and online sources..

amistre64 · Answer

a(x) e^x

a'(x) e^x + a(x) e'^x

a'(x) e^x + a(x) e^x

e^x(a'+a)

anonymous · Answer

You have two functions, x^2 - 3x and another function called e^x.
To find the derivative of the product of two functions, use the Product Rule, which says that if you have two functions, f(x) and g(x), te derivative of f(x)g(x) is f(x)g'(x) + g(x)f'(x)

shamil98 · Answer

F(x) =(x^2-3x)
f' = 2x - 3
g(x) = e^x
g' = e^x
So the answer would then be..
$$(x^2-3x)e^x + (2x-3)e^x$$
right?..
