Answer

$2x\displaystyle \ln x+\frac{x^{2}+1}{x}$

Work Step by Step

$u(x)=x^{2}+1,\qquad u^{\prime}(x)=2x$ $v(x)=\displaystyle \ln x,\qquad v^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{x}$ $f(x)=u(x)v(x)$, so by the Product Rule, $f^{\prime}(x)=u^{\prime}(x)v(x)+u(x)v^{\prime}(x)$ $=2x\displaystyle \cdot\ln x+(x^{2}+1)\cdot\frac{1}{x}$ $= 2x\displaystyle \ln x+\frac{x^{2}+1}{x}$
