$e^{x} x$

Step 1

Differentiate using the Product Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [f (x) g (x)]$ is $f (x) \frac{d}{d x} [g (x)] + g (x) \frac{d}{d x} [f (x)]$ where $f (x) = e^{x}$ and $g (x) = x$ .

$e^{x} \frac{d}{d x} [x] + x \frac{d}{d x} [e^{x}]$

Step 2

Differentiate using the Power Rule.

Step 2.1

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$e^{x} \cdot 1 + x \frac{d}{d x} [e^{x}]$

Step 2.2

Multiply $e^{x}$ by $1$ .

$e^{x} + x \frac{d}{d x} [e^{x}]$

Step 3

Differentiate using the Exponential Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [a^{x}]$ is $a^{x} \ln (a)$ where $a$ = $e$ .

$e^{x} + x e^{x}$

Step 4.1

Reorder terms.

$e^{x} x + e^{x}$

Step 4.2

Reorder factors in $e^{x} x + e^{x}$ .

$x e^{x} + e^{x}$
