Answer, $y'=e^x*(x^3+3x^2+2x+2)$

Explanation :

Using Product Rule (which is also explained in the following problem) to solve this problem,

$y'=(x^3+2x)*(e^x)'+e^x(x^3+2x)'$

$y'=(x^3+2x)*e^x+e^x(3x^2+2)$

$y'=e^x*(x^3+3x^2+2x+2)$

How do you use the product rule to find the derivative of y=(x^3+2x)*e^xy=(x^3+2x)*e^x ?
