Derivative of \( \displaystyle \left(3 x - \frac{6}{5}\right) e^{5 x - 1} \)

Problem 2.1286 · medium

Differentiate \( \displaystyle f(x) = \left(3 x - \frac{6}{5}\right) e^{5 x - 1} \).
  1. \[ \frac{d}{d x} \left(3 x - \frac{6}{5}\right) e^{5 x - 1} \]
    Start with the derivative of the function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \frac{d}{d x} \left(3 x e^{5 x - 1} - \frac{6 e^{5 x - 1}}{5}\right) \]
    algebraDistribute the term (3*x - 6/5) into the exponential.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = \frac{d}{d x} 3 x e^{5 x - 1} - \frac{d}{d x} \frac{6 e^{5 x - 1}}{5} \]
    sumApply the sum rule for derivatives.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = 3 \frac{d}{d x} x e^{5 x - 1} - \frac{6 \frac{d}{d x} e^{5 x - 1}}{5} \]
    constant-multiplePull out the constant factors from each derivative.✓ Proved
  5. \[ = 3 x \frac{d}{d x} e^{5 x - 1} + 3 e^{5 x - 1} \frac{d}{d x} x - \frac{6 \frac{d}{d x} e^{5 x - 1}}{5} \]
    productApply the product rule to the first term.✓ Proved
  6. \[ = 3 x \frac{d}{d x} e^{5 x - 1} + 3 e^{5 x - 1} - \frac{6 \frac{d}{d x} e^{5 x - 1}}{5} \]
    derivativeDifferentiate x with respect to x.✓ Proved
  7. \[ = 15 x e^{5 x - 1} - 3 e^{5 x - 1} \]
    chain algebraApply the chain rule to the exponential term. Simplify the constants and distribute the 3.✓ Proved
  8. \[ = \left(15 x - 3\right) e^{5 x - 1} \]
    algebra simplifyFactor out the common exponential term. Combine the constant terms in the parentheses.✓ Proved
Answer \( \left(15 x - 3\right) e^{5 x - 1} \)

✓ Nihil obstat Every line of this solution was proved by the computer algebra system SymPy. The answer was also checked a second way, without looking at the solution. Reviewers found nothing wrong with the explanation.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-10-03 with SymPy 1.14.0.
