Find the derivative : (problem is in the comments section)

OpenStudy (1018):

\[y=\(x^\2\ \-\ \5x \+\ \4\)e^\3x\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmmm what is that?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

use the drawing box

OpenStudy (1018):

Wait, something's wrong with the equation maker. :/

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

haha lol use the drawing tool

OpenStudy (1018):

y=(x^2 -5x + 4)e^3x

OpenStudy (1018):

Is this ok? Haha

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yeah pretty good^_^

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

use the product rule and then chain rule

OpenStudy (1018):

Wait, I'll try, and then tell me if it's wrong. :)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

\((f.g)'=f'g+g'f\)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yeah! try^_^

OpenStudy (1018):

y = (x^2 -5x + 4)(3e^2x) + (2x - 5)(e^3x)

OpenStudy (1018):

How's that?

OpenStudy (1018):

Is it just mine, or you got the math processing error too? lol

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

well the last term you got it right! good on that part the first one you got the derivative of \(e^{3x}\) wrong

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

no it seems fine to me

OpenStudy (1018):

Oh sorry I meant 3x, still right?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes good job

OpenStudy (1018):

I refreshed the page, it's fine now. Haha

OpenStudy (1018):

So, is that the final answer already?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

now just factor e^3x to make it look nice

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i would always go with simplifying some terms if possible that by factoring. so the final answer should be clean haha

OpenStudy (1018):

\[y=e^3x (x^2-5x+4)(3) + (2x-5)\]

OpenStudy (1018):

Is that right? Haha. And if it is, I'd multiply 3 to the 1st one right? Then, I'd add the second one to it?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

that doesn't look nice hehe.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

where that x came from

OpenStudy (aum):

put curly braces around {3x} if you want \(\Large e^{3x}\) or else you will get \(\Large e^3x\).

OpenStudy (1018):

The x is an exponent it wont come up. lol

OpenStudy (1018):

Ooh. Thanks! @aum

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

oh i see so it is the equation tool

OpenStudy (aum):

You are welcome.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

do it like this `\(\large e^{3x}[3(x^2-5x+4)+(2x-5)]\)`

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

\(\large e^{3x}[3(x^2-5x+4)+(2x-5)]\)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i'm not too good in latex as well haha

OpenStudy (1018):

So is the final answer \[e^{3x}(3x^2-13x+7)\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

aum how to you do this |dw:1409363388215:dw|
