To find the derivative \( \frac{d y}{d x} \) for \( y=3 e^{x}(x^{3}+1) \), we will use the product rule. The product rule states that if you have two functions \( u \) and \( v \), then the derivative of their product is given by: \[ \frac{d(uv)}{dx} = u \frac{dv}{dx} + v \frac{du}{dx} \] Letting \( u = 3e^x \) and \( v = x^3 + 1 \), we first find the derivatives of \( u \) and \( v \): 1. \( \frac{du}{dx} = 3e^x \) (since the derivative of \( e^x \) is \( e^x \)) 2. \( \frac{dv}{dx} = 3x^2 \) (the derivative of \( x^3 \) is \( 3x^2 \)) Now applying the product rule: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = u \frac{dv}{dx} + v \frac{du}{dx} \] \[ = 3e^x(3x^2) + (x^3 + 1)(3e^x) \] \[ = 9x^2 e^x + 3e^x (x^3 + 1) \] Factor out \( 3e^x \): \[ = 3e^x(3x^2 + x^3 + 1) \] Thus, the derivative is: \[ \frac{d y}{d x} = 3e^x(x^3 + 3x^2 + 1) \]
