How do I do this e^x derivative problem?

2009-06-12 7:36 am
Differentiate y = (x^2)(e^x)
dy/dx = (x^2) * d/dx(e^x) + (e^x) * d/dx(x^2)
= (x^2) * (e^x) + (e^x) * (2x)

OK, so I can do that bit nicely, but then they re-arrange the whole thing in this fashion:

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

can someone explain what they did here to get it into that form?

r u really serious in askin' this question???

they used the formula d(u.v)=udv+vdu for solving y=(x^2)(e^x)
u=x^2,v=e^x now u subtitute this values in formula...
then in final answer they removed the common terms x,e^x to get
(x)(e^x)(x+2) if u multiply means u wil get the same answer

it is the simple factoring actually.

for the x^2 * e^x + 2x * e^x
= x * x * e^x + 2 * x * e^x factor out the x and e^x
x + 2 is left

= x * e^x ( x + 2 )

notice that in both (x^2)(e^x) and 2x(e^x) they have a similarity with an x and an e^x so you can factor it out....I guess it looks better??

so that is how you get (x*e^x) (x+2)

dy/dx = ( 2x ) e^x + e^x (x^2)

dy/dx = x e^x [ 2 + x ]-------------xe^x is a common factor

dy/dx = x e^x [ x + 2 ]

Factorisation. Both terms have a common factor of xe^x, so they were taken out the front of brackets. Expand to confirm.
