t^2 * e^-t + (ln t)^2
I spaced it out so I wouldn't be confusing. Which are needs the use of the chain rule?
For the first term, you need to use the product rule and the chain rule. For the second term, you just use the chain rule.
(t^2 * e^-t + (ln t)^2)'
= (t^2)' ( e^-t) + (t^2) (e^-t)' + 2(ln t)^(2-1) * (ln t)'
= 2t (e^-t) + (t^2)(-e^-t) + 2(ln t)*(1/t)
Simplify if your teacher says it is necessary.
For the first term, from the chain rule,
d/dt() = 2*t*e^(-t) + (t^2)(-e^(-t))
For the second term, again from the chain rule,
d/dt() = 2*(ln t)*(1/t)
= (2/t)(ln t)
Add them together since they are a sum in the original function, and get
d/dt() = 2*t*e^(-t) + (t^2)(-e^(-t)) + (2/t)(ln t)
d/dt() = (e^-t)*(2t-t^2) + (2/t)*ln(t)
