Derivative of \( \displaystyle e^{x^{2} + 1} \)

Problem 2.488 · hard

Differentiate \( \displaystyle f(x) = e^{x^{2} + 1} \).
  1. \[ \frac{d}{d x} e^{x^{2} + 1} \]
    Start with the derivative of the function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = e^{x^{2} + 1} \frac{d}{d x} \left(x^{2} + 1\right) \]
    chainApply the chain rule.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = \left(\frac{d}{d x} 1 + \frac{d}{d x} x^{2}\right) e^{x^{2} + 1} \]
    sumDifferentiate the sum inside the parentheses.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = \left(2 x \frac{d}{d x} x + \frac{d}{d x} 1\right) e^{x^{2} + 1} \]
    powerApply the power rule to x**2.✓ Proved
  5. \[ = 2 x e^{x^{2} + 1} \]
    derivative simplifyDifferentiate x and the constant 1. Simplify the expression.✓ 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.
