Derivative of x · eˣ with Steps

Differentiate x·eˣ step by step using the Product Rule. Detailed working with u = x and v = e^x, showing full substitution to yield e^x(x + 1).

Problem Statement
ddx[xex]\frac{d}{dx}[x e^x]
Final Result
f′(x)=ex⋅x+exf'(x) = e^{x} \cdot x+e^{x}

Formula Required: Product Rule

Let u = x and v = e^x. Then u' = 1 and v' = e^x.

ddx[u⋅v]=u′v+uv′\frac{d}{dx}[u \cdot v] = u'v + uv'

Step-by-Step Solution

2 Steps
1

Set up the differentiation problem with respect to variable $x$.

ddx[ex⋅x]\frac{d}{dx} \left[ e^{x} \cdot x \right]
2

Apply the Product Rule to compute the derivative.

ddx[ex⋅x]=ex⋅x+ex\frac{d}{dx} \left[ e^{x} \cdot x \right] = e^{x} \cdot x+e^{x}
