Derivative of 5*x*e^x

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

   1. Apply the product rule:

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

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

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

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

      1. The derivative of $e^{x}$ is itself.

      The result is: $x e^{x} + e^{x}$

   So, the result is: $5 x e^{x} + 5 e^{x}$

2. Now simplify:

   $$5 \left(x + 1\right) e^{x}$$

The answer is:

$$5 \left(x + 1\right) e^{x}$$
