Derivative of \( \displaystyle \left(2 - x\right) e^{2 x - 3} \)

Problem 2.676 · medium

Differentiate \( \displaystyle f(x) = \left(2 - x\right) e^{2 x - 3} \).
  1. \[ \frac{d}{d x} \left(2 - x\right) e^{2 x - 3} \]
    derivativeStart with the derivative of the function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \left(2 - x\right) \frac{d}{d x} e^{2 x - 3} + e^{2 x - 3} \frac{d}{d x} \left(2 - x\right) \]
    productApply the product rule.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = \left(2 - x\right) \frac{d}{d x} e^{2 x - 3} - e^{2 x - 3} \]
    derivativeDifferentiate the first term.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = \left(2 - x\right) e^{2 x - 3} \frac{d}{d x} \left(2 x - 3\right) - e^{2 x - 3} \]
    chainApply the chain rule to the exponential term.✓ Proved
  5. \[ = 2 \left(2 - x\right) e^{2 x - 3} - e^{2 x - 3} \]
    derivativeDifferentiate the inner function 2*x - 3.✓ Proved
  6. \[ = \left(4 - 2 x\right) e^{2 x - 3} - e^{2 x - 3} \]
    algebraDistribute the 2.✓ Proved
  7. \[ = \left(3 - 2 x\right) e^{2 x - 3} \]
    algebra simplifyFactor out the exponential term. Combine like terms.✓ 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.
