Differentiate

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

f(x)= x^2 In x = 2x Inx + x^2 (1) = x(2 Inx+1)

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

Is it right??

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

not quite you have used the product rule correctly by if f(x) = ln(x) then f'(x) = 1/x so in the 2nd part of the dervative you should have \[x^2 \times \frac{1}{x}\] now simplify this

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Interestingly enough, it's like that is what he did...but wrote it incorrectly up there Because yes the second part becomes just x And via factoring out the 'x' at the end you arrive at the result originally written above
