$x \sin (x)$

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 $f (x) = x$ and $g (x) = \sin (x)$ .

$x \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (x)] + \sin (x) \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 2

The derivative of $\sin (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\cos (x)$ .

$x \cos (x) + \sin (x) \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 3

Differentiate using the Power Rule.

Step 3.1

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

$x \cos (x) + \sin (x) \cdot 1$

Step 3.2

Multiply $\sin (x)$ by $1$ .

$x \cos (x) + \sin (x)$
