Piecewise:

The solution

You have entered [src]
x*log(2*x)
$$x \log{\left(2 x \right)}$$
d             
--(x*log(2*x))
dx            
$$\frac{d}{d x} x \log{\left(2 x \right)}$$
Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ; to find :

    1. Apply the power rule: goes to

    ; 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:
