MCQ
Find the derivative of ${e^x}^2$:
  • A
    ${e^x}^2$
  • B
    $2x$
  • C
    ${2e^x}^2$
  • ${2xe^x}^2$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${2xe^x}^2$
We apply chain rule. First we differentiate $x^2$.
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}} (\text{x}^2) = 2\text{x}$
Now, we know that $\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}} (\text{e}^x) = \text{e}^\text{x}$
We differentiate ${e^x}^2$ in the same manner and then multiply with the derivative of $x^2$
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}} (\text{e}^\text{x}) = 2\text{x}\text{e}^\text{x}$
