Solve x^10*x^12

$$x ^ { 10 } \cdot x ^ { 12 }$$

Differentiate w.r.t. x

$$22x^{21}$$

Steps Using Derivative Rule for Product

For any two differentiable functions, the derivative of the product of two functions is the first function times the derivative of the second plus the second function times the derivative of the first.

$$x^{10}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(x^{12})+x^{12}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(x^{10})$$

The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is 0. The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.

$$x^{10}\times 12x^{12-1}+x^{12}\times 10x^{10-1}$$

Simplify.

$$x^{10}\times 12x^{11}+x^{12}\times 10x^{9}$$

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents.

$$12x^{10+11}+10x^{12+9}$$

Simplify.

$$12x^{21}+10x^{21}$$

Evaluate

$$x^{22}$$

Solution Steps

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 10 and 12 to get 22.

$$x^{22}$$
