Find dy/dx if y=(x^3)(e^2x)

Use product rule. Set u=x^3 and v=e^2x. Differentiate u and v. Then dy/dx = uv'+vu' = (3x^2)*(e^(2x))+(2x^3)(e^(2x)). This problem is best explained written on a whiteboard (it's difficult to give an explanation in prose without proper formatting).

How do I differentiate something of the form a^x?


Identify the stationary points of f(x)=3x^3+2x^2+4 (by finding the first and second derivative) and determine their nature.


A curve is defined by parametric equations: x = t^(2) + 2, and y = t(4-t^(2)). Find dy/dx in terms of t, hence, define the gradient of the curve at the point where t = 2.


Differentiate y=(4x - 5)^5 by using the chain rule.
