Product Rule

Derivative of product of functions

x = 0.50
(x2sinx)=2xsinx+x2cosx(x^2 \cdot \sin x)' = 2x \cdot \sin x + x^2 \cdot \cos x
x=0.50:  (fg)=0.699x=0.50: \; (fg)' = 0.699

Product rule: (fg)′ = f′g + fg′. Intuition: the area of rectangle f×g changes when both f and g change simultaneously – hence two terms.
