Provide an example of the product rule using functions f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = sin(x).
The derivative is f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x) = 2xsin(x) + x^2cos(x).
If f(x) = x^3 and g(x) = e^x, then using the product rule, the derivative f'(x) * g(x) + g'(x) * f(x) gives _____ as a result.

Study Notes
Product Rule in Calculus
- The product rule is used to find the derivative of the product of two differentiable functions:
- f(x) * g(x)
- The formula for the product rule is:
- (f(x) * g(x))' = f'(x) * g(x) + g'(x) * f(x)
- The product rule can only be applied to two differentiable functions.
Example of Product Rule
-
f(x) = x^2, g(x) = sin(x)
- f'(x) = 2x, g'(x) = cos(x)
- Applying the product rule:
- (x^2 * sin(x))' = 2x * sin(x) + cos(x) * x^2
Derivative using Product Rule
-
f(x) = x^3, g(x) = e^x
- f'(x) = 3x^2, g'(x) = e^x
- Applying the product rule:
- f'(x) * g(x) + g'(x) * f(x) = 3x^2 * e^x + e^x * x^3
