4*x *log(0.5*x)
$$4 x^{2} \log{\left(0.5 x \right)}$$
(4*x^2)*log(0.5*x)
Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ; to find :

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

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      So, the result is:

    ; to find :

    1. Let .

    2. The derivative of is .

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

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

        1. Apply the power rule: goes to

        So, the result is:

      The result of the chain rule is:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
4.0*x + 8*x*log(0.5*x)
$$8 x \log{\left(0.5 x \right)} + 4.0 x$$
The second derivative [src]
12.0 + 8*log(0.5*x)
$$8 \log{\left(0.5 x \right)} + 12.0$$
The third derivative [src]
8.0
