Problem 2.480 · medium

Differentiate \( \displaystyle f(x) = \left(2 x - 3\right) e^{4 x - 6} \).
  1. \[ \frac{d}{d x} \left(2 x - 3\right) e^{4 x - 6} \]
    Start with the derivative of the function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \left(2 x - 3\right) \frac{d}{d x} e^{4 x - 6} + e^{4 x - 6} \frac{d}{d x} \left(2 x - 3\right) \]
    productApply the product rule.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = \left(2 x - 3\right) \frac{d}{d x} e^{4 x - 6} + 2 e^{4 x - 6} \]
    derivativeDifferentiate the first part of the product.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = \left(2 x - 3\right) e^{4 x - 6} \frac{d}{d x} \left(4 x - 6\right) + 2 e^{4 x - 6} \]
    chainApply the chain rule to the exponential term.✓ Proved
  5. \[ = 4 \left(2 x - 3\right) e^{4 x - 6} + 2 e^{4 x - 6} \]
    derivativeDifferentiate the inner function 4*x - 6.✓ Proved
  6. \[ = \left(8 x - 12\right) e^{4 x - 6} + 2 e^{4 x - 6} \]
    algebraDistribute the 4 into the binomial.✓ Proved
  7. \[ = \left(8 x - 10\right) e^{4 x - 6} \]
    algebra simplifyFactor out the common exponential term. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.✓ Proved

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.
