Math Problem Statement

Find f prime left parenthesis x right parenthesis. f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 7 e Superscript x Baseline plus 5 x minus 3 ln x

Solution

To find f(x)f'(x) for the function:

f(x)=7ex+5x3ln(x)f(x) = 7e^x + 5x - 3\ln(x)

We differentiate each term separately:

  1. The derivative of 7ex7e^x is 7ex7e^x (since the derivative of exe^x is exe^x).
  2. The derivative of 5x5x is 55.
  3. The derivative of 3ln(x)-3\ln(x) is 3x-\frac{3}{x} (since the derivative of ln(x)\ln(x) is 1x\frac{1}{x}).

Thus, the derivative f(x)f'(x) is:

f(x)=7ex+53xf'(x) = 7e^x + 5 - \frac{3}{x}
