Learn the method
Choose the rule before simplifying
Recognizing the structure of a function makes differentiation easier to follow.
Worked example
- 1For f(x)=x²eˣ, identify a product of x² and eˣ.
- 2Differentiate each factor: (x²)′=2x and (eˣ)′=eˣ.
- 3Combine: f′(x)=2xeˣ+x²eˣ=eˣ(x²+2x).
A formula for a derivative is only valid where the original function is defined and differentiable.
