00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.344
Here is the problem: differentiate x sin(x).

2
00:00:03.794 --> 00:00:07.242
Find the derivative of x sin(x) with respect to x.

3
00:00:08.042 --> 00:00:12.628
Product rule: (uv) prime equals u prime v plus uv prime.

4
00:00:13.078 --> 00:00:16.259
d by d x[sin x] equals cos x.

5
00:00:16.709 --> 00:00:18.300
Combine and simplify.

6
00:00:19.100 --> 00:00:24.069
So the answer is f prime of x equals sin(x) plus x times cos(x).

7
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:37.534
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).

00:00:38.334 --> 00:00:44.998
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
