Let y = (x2 + 1)(x + 9)

y' = (d/dx)(x2 + 1)(x + 9)

Recall the product rule: (d/dx)(UV) = U' V + U V'

y' = (x2 + 1)' (x + 9) + (x2 + 1)(x + 9)'

General derivative formula: (d/dx)(xn) = nxn-1 and The Derivative of a Constant is 0

y' = (2x + 0)(x + 9) + (x2 + 1)(1+0)

y' = (2x)(x + 9) + (x2 + 1)

y' = 2x2 + 18x + x2 + 1

y' = 3x2 + 18x + 1

 

If x = 13 ?

y' = 3(13)2 + 18(13) + 1

y' = 3(169) + 234 + 1

y' = 507 + 235

y' = 742

Let y=(x^2+1)(x+9) y = (x^2)(x) +(x^2)(9) +1(x) + 1(9) y = x^3 + 9x^2 + x + 9 Differentiate with respect to x each side dy/dx = d/dx(x^3) + d/dx(9x^2) + d/dx(x) + d/dx(9) Recall : d/dx(x^n) = n*x^n-1 dy/dx = 3x^3-1 + 9*2x^2-1 + 1 +0 dy/dx = 3x^2 + 18x + 1 If x = 13 dy/dx = 3(13)^2 + 18(13) +1 dy/dx = 3(169) + 234 +1 dy/dx = 507 + 235 dy/dx = 742
