SOLUTION: differentiate the following function: (a)f(x)=(x^2+1/x^3 )(x^3-x^2+1) (b)f(x)= e^((x^3+2x))

Question 1003759: differentiate the following function:
(a)f(x)=(x^2+1/x^3 )(x^3-x^2+1)
(b)f(x)= e^((x^3+2x))

(a)  

Write  as 



Multiply it out first:







Take the derivative of each term:



Changing negative exponents to
positive exponents in denominators.



------------------------------------
(b)  

Rule:  copy it over and multiply by the derivative of the exponent:
