Differentiate y=x(e^x)

Write as y=uv u=x v=ex

du/dx=1 dv/dx=ex 

Using the product rule, dy/dx=vdu/dx + udv/dx

So dy/dx=ex(1)+x(ex)=ex(1+x)

Let w, z be complex numbers. Show that |wz|=|w||z|, and using the fact that x=|x|e^{arg(x)i}, show further that arg(wz)=arg(w)+arg(z) where |.| is the absolute value and arg(.) is the angle (in polar coordinates). Hence, find all solutions to x^n=1 .
