Find the Derivative - d/dx xsin(x)
xsin(x)
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)=sin(x).
xddx[sin(x)]+sin(x)ddx[x]
Step 2
The derivative of sin(x) with respect to x is cos(x).
xcos(x)+sin(x)ddx[x]
Step 3
Differentiate using the Power Rule.

Step 3.1
Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that ddx[xn] is nxn-1 where n=1.
xcos(x)+sin(x)1
Step 3.2
Multiply sin(x) by 1.
xcos(x)+sin(x)
xcos(x)+sin(x)
xsin(x)
