xex
Step 1
Differentiate using the Product Rule which states that ddx[f(x)g(x)] is f(x)ddx[g(x)]+g(x)ddx[f(x)] where f(x)=x and g(x)=ex.
xddx[ex]+exddx[x]
Step 2
Differentiate using the Exponential Rule which states that ddx[ax] is axln(a) where a=e.
xex+exddx[x]
Step 3
Step 3.1
Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that ddx[xn] is nxn−1 where n=1.
xex+ex⋅1
Step 3.2
Multiply ex by 1.
xex+ex
xex+ex
