Derivative of \( \displaystyle x^{2} + e^{x} + 4 \)

Problem 2.165 · hard

Differentiate \( \displaystyle f(x) = x^{2} + e^{x} + 4 \).
  1. \[ \frac{d}{d x} \left(x^{2} + e^{x} + 4\right) \]
    derivativeStart with the derivative of the function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \frac{d}{d x} 4 + \frac{d}{d x} x^{2} + \frac{d}{d x} e^{x} \]
    sumApply the sum rule.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = 2 x + \frac{d}{d x} 4 + \frac{d}{d x} e^{x} \]
    powerDifferentiate the power term.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = 2 x + e^{x} + \frac{d}{d x} 4 \]
    exponentialDifferentiate the exponential term.✓ Proved
  5. \[ = 2 x + e^{x} \]
    constant simplifyDifferentiate the constant term. Simplify the final expression.✓ Proved
Answer \( 2 x + e^{x} \)

✓ 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 2026-09-26 with SymPy 1.14.0.
