Step 1.2.1

Multiply by $1$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{x^{3} x^{2}}{x^{3} \cdot 1}]$

Step 1.2.2

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{x^{3} x^{2}}{x^{3} \cdot 1}]$

Step 1.2.3

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{x^{2}}{1}]$

Step 1.2.4

Divide $x^{2}$ by $1$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [x^{2}]$

Step 2

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 2$ .

$2 x$
