#dy/dx = (11x+1 ) (x+1)^9#

Explanation:

Using the product rule:

#dy/dx = d/dx(x) (x+1)^10 + x d/dx ((x+1)^10)#

#dy/dx = (x+1)^10 + x d/dx ((x+1)^10)#

Now using the chain rule:

#dy/dx = (x+1)^10 + x (10(x+1)^9 d/dx(x+1))#

#dy/dx = (x+1)^10 + 10x (x+1)^9 #

and simplifying:

#dy/dx = (x+1)^9(x+1 + 10x) #

#dy/dx = (x+1)^9(11x+1 ) #
