Answer

64

Work Step by Step

(the derivative evaluated at x=2) Use the product rule, $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)g(x)]=f^{\prime}(x)g(x)+f(x)g^{\prime}(x)$. $f(x)=x^{3}+2x,\quad f^{\prime}(x)=3x^{2}+2$ $g(x)=x^{2}-x,\quad g^{\prime}(x)=2x-1$ $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=(3x^{2}+2)(x^{2}-x)+(x^{3}+2x)(2x-1)$ $\left.\frac{dy}{dx}\right|_{2}=[3(4)+2](4-2)+(8+4)(4-1)$ $=28+36$ $=64$
