Derivative of 2x(x+1)

1. Apply the product rule:

   $$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} g{\left(x \right)} = f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$$

   $f{\left(x \right)} = 2 x$; to find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$:

   1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

      1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

      So, the result is: $2$

   $g{\left(x \right)} = x + 1$; to find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$:

   1. Differentiate $x + 1$ term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

      2. The derivative of the constant $1$ is zero.

      The result is: $1$

   The result is: $4 x + 2$

The answer is:

$$4 x + 2$$
