Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given the function y=(x2+9)ln(x2+9) y = (x^2 + 9) \ln(x^2 + 9) .
2. We need to find the derivative y y' with respect to x x .

STEP 2

1. Identify the structure of the function and determine the differentiation method.
2. Apply the product rule to differentiate the function.
3. Simplify the derivative expression.

STEP 3

Identify the structure of the function. The function y=(x2+9)ln(x2+9) y = (x^2 + 9) \ln(x^2 + 9) is a product of two functions: - u(x)=x2+9 u(x) = x^2 + 9 - v(x)=ln(x2+9) v(x) = \ln(x^2 + 9)

STEP 4

Apply the product rule for differentiation, which states that if y=u(x)v(x) y = u(x) \cdot v(x) , then:
y=u(x)v(x)+u(x)v(x) y' = u'(x) \cdot v(x) + u(x) \cdot v'(x)

STEP 5

Differentiate u(x)=x2+9 u(x) = x^2 + 9 :
u(x)=ddx(x2+9)=2x u'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + 9) = 2x

STEP 6

Differentiate v(x)=ln(x2+9) v(x) = \ln(x^2 + 9) using the chain rule:
v(x)=ddx[ln(x2+9)]=1x2+9ddx(x2+9)=1x2+92x=2xx2+9 v'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\ln(x^2 + 9)] = \frac{1}{x^2 + 9} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + 9) = \frac{1}{x^2 + 9} \cdot 2x = \frac{2x}{x^2 + 9}

STEP 7

Substitute u(x) u'(x) , v(x) v(x) , u(x) u(x) , and v(x) v'(x) into the product rule formula:
y=(2x)ln(x2+9)+(x2+9)2xx2+9 y' = (2x) \cdot \ln(x^2 + 9) + (x^2 + 9) \cdot \frac{2x}{x^2 + 9}

STEP 8

Simplify the expression:
y=2xln(x2+9)+2x y' = 2x \ln(x^2 + 9) + 2x
The derivative of the function is:
y=2xln(x2+9)+2x y' = 2x \ln(x^2 + 9) + 2x
