What is the derivative of x³ ln(x) with respect to x?

What is the derivative of x³ ln(x) with respect to x?

Explanation

We use the product rule since it's the product of two functions:


f(x) = x^3 cdot ln(x)

Let:


  • u = x^3 Rightarrow u' = 3x^2


  • v = ln(x) Rightarrow v' = frac{1}{x}

Apply the product rule:
