How do you differentiate #g(u) =(u^-2 + u^3)(u^5 - u^-2) # using the product rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Product Rule 1 Answer Guilherme N. Jan 5, 2016 Product rule: #(ab)'=a'b+ab'# Explanation: #(dg(u))/(du)=(-2u^-3+3u^2)(u^5-u^-2)+(u^-2+u^3)(5u^4+2u^-3)# #(dg(u))/(du)=-2u^2+2u^-5+3u^7-3+5u^2+2u^-5+5u^7+2# #(dg(u))/(du)=3u^2+4u^-5+8u^7-1# Answer link Related questions What is the Product Rule for derivatives?
