00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.502
Here is the problem: derivative of (e to the power 3x minus 2)) plus (ln(x cubed)).

2
00:00:06.952 --> 00:00:13.593
Find the derivative of (e to the power 3 x minus 2)) plus (ln(x cubed)) with respect to x.

3
00:00:14.393 --> 00:00:17.539
Sum rule: differentiate each term separately.

4
00:00:17.989 --> 00:00:23.330
Chain rule — d by d x[ln u] equals u prime /u.

5
00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:30.572
Power rule: d by d x[x to the power n] equals n times x to the power n minus 1.

6
00:00:31.022 --> 00:00:38.650
Exponential rule: d by d x[eᵘ] equals eᵘ times u prime.

7
00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:42.852
Difference rule: differentiate each term separately.

8
00:00:43.302 --> 00:00:44.823
Constant multiple rule.

9
00:00:45.273 --> 00:00:46.829
Combine and simplify.

10
00:00:47.629 --> 00:00:55.141
So the answer is f prime of x equals 3(e to the power 3 x minus 2) plus 1 / x).

11
00:00:55.591 --> 00:01:08.606
The derivative is built from the outside in: sums split into terms, constants factor out, products and quotients use their rules, and every composite function multiplies by the derivative of its inside (chain rule).

12
00:01:09.406 --> 00:01:16.186
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
