What is the product rule for F(x)=f(x)g(x)F(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x)?

F(x)=f(x)g(x)+g(x)f(x)F'(x) = f(x) \cdot g'(x) + g(x) \cdot f'(x)

For F(x)=x2x3F(x) = x^2 \cdot x^3, why can't we just multiply the derivatives?

We get 6x36x^3 but correct is 5x45x^4

udvdx+vdudxu\frac{dv}{dx} + v\frac{du}{dx}

What is the memory aid for the product rule?

Keep first, diff second; keep second, diff first; add
