Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)\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(x)=2xf{\left(x \right)} = 2 x; to find ddxf(x)\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: xx goes to 11

      So, the result is: 22

    g(x)=exg{\left(x \right)} = e^{x}; to find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

    1. The derivative of exe^{x} is itself.

    The result is: 2xex+2ex2 x e^{x} + 2 e^{x}

  2. Now simplify:

    2(x+1)ex2 \left(x + 1\right) e^{x}


The answer is:

2(x+1)ex2 \left(x + 1\right) e^{x}
