Here is the problem: derivative of ((x squared plus 1) cubed)/(e to the power x cubed)).

2
00:00:07.346 --> 00:00:14.591
Find the derivative of ((x squared plus 1) cubed) / (e to the power x cubed)) with respect to x.

3
00:00:15.391 --> 00:00:22.171
Quotient rule: (u/v) prime equals (u prime v minus uv prime )/v squared.

4
00:00:22.621 --> 00:00:30.284
Exponential rule: d by d x[eᵘ] equals eᵘ times u prime.

5
00:00:30.734 --> 00:00:37.224
Power rule: d by d x[x to the power n] equals n times x to the power n minus 1.

6
00:00:37.674 --> 00:00:46.474
Power rule with the chain rule: d by d x[u to the power n] equals n times u to the power n minus 1 times u prime.

7
00:00:47.274 --> 00:00:50.316
Sum rule: differentiate each term separately.

8
00:00:50.766 --> 00:00:57.442
Power rule: d by d x[x to the power n] equals n times x to the power n minus 1.

9
00:00:57.892 --> 00:00:59.506
Combine and simplify.

10
00:01:00.306 --> 00:01:11.510
So the answer is f prime of x equals (6(x squared plus 1) squaredx minus 3(x squared plus 1) cubedx squared) / e to the power x cubed.

11
00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:24.882
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
00:01:25.682 --> 00:01:32.404
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
