If $f$ Is a Differentiable Function, Find an Expression for the Derivative

question 89

Multiple Choice

If $f$ is a differentiable function, find an expression for the derivative of $y = x ^ { 3 } f ( x )$ .
Select the correct answer.

• A) \(\frac { d } { d x } \left( x ^ { 3 } f ( x ) \right) = 3 x ^ { 2 } f ( x ) + x ^ { 3 } f ^ { \prime } ( x )\)
• B) \(\frac { d } { d x } \left( x ^ { 3 } f ( x ) \right) = 3 x ^ { 3 } f ( x ) + x ^ { 2 } f ^ { \prime } ( x )\)
• C) \(\frac { d } { d x } \left( x ^ { 3 } f ( x ) \right) = 2 x ^ { 2 } f ( x ) - x ^ { 3 } f ^ { \prime } ( x )\)
• D) \(\frac { d } { d x } \left( x ^ { 3 } f ( x ) \right) = 3 x ^ { 2 } f ( x ) - x ^ { 3 } f ^ { \prime } ( x )\)
• E) \(\frac { d } { d x } \left( x ^ { 3 } f ( x ) \right) = 3 x ^ { 3 } f ( x ) - x ^ { 2 } f ^ { \prime } ( x )\)
