How do you differentiate #f(x)= (x^2+1)(5x^4+3^2+2x) # using the product rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Product Rule 1 Answer sankarankalyanam May 7, 2018 Answer: #color(brown)(f'(x) = 30x^5 + 20x^3 + 6x^2 + 18x + 2# Explanation: #f(x) = (x^2 + 1) * (5x^4 + 2x + 3^2)# #Let " "u = ((x^2 + 1), v = (5x^4 + 2x + 9)# #(du)/(dx) = (d/(dx)) (x^2 + 1) = 2x# #(dv) / (dx) = d/(dx) (5x^4 + 2x + 9) = 20x^3 + 2# #f'(x) = v (du)/(dx) + u (dv)/(dx)# #f'(x) = (5x^4 + 2x + 9) * 2x + (x^2 + 1) * (20x^3 + 2)# #=> 10x^5 + 4x^2 + 18x + 20x^5 + 2x^2 + 20x^3 + 2# #color(brown)(=> 30x^5 + 20x^3 + 6x^2 + 18x + 2# Related questions What is the Product Rule for derivatives?
