f(x)=e^x(x^2+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got e^x(x(x+2)+2)

OpenStudy (idku):

derivative?

hartnn (hartnn):

you wanted to find the derivative? then its correct.

OpenStudy (idku):

f(x)=e^x(x^2+2) f'(x)=e^x(2x)+e^x(x^2+2) f'(x)=e^x(2x+x^2+2)

OpenStudy (idku):

yes.... i don't know why you factored the x there but that doesn't matter I guess...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks i thought i did it a crazy way

OpenStudy (idku):

no, it's fine. just a product rule (recalling the facts that d/dx(e^x)=e^x=integral e^x dx), all you really had to know is that the derivative of x^2+2 is 2x.

OpenStudy (idku):

you have done everything correctly, you welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankyou so much

OpenStudy (idku):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me with something else

OpenStudy (idku):

sure
