Answer

$s^{\prime}(x)=2xe^{2x-1}(1+x)$

Work Step by Step

$s(x) $ is a product$ u(x)v(x)$ where $u(x)=x^{2},\qquad u^{\prime}(x)=2$ $v(x)=e^{2x-1},$ $v^{\prime}(x)= \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[e^{w}]=e^{u}\cdot\frac{dw}{dx}$, with $w=2x-1\displaystyle \quad\frac{dw}{dx}=2x$ $v^{\prime}(x)=\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[e^{2x-1}]=e^{2x-1}\cdot(2)=2e^{2x-1}$ So $s(x)=u^{\prime}(x)v(x)+u(x)v^{\prime}(x)$ $=2xe^{2x-1}+x^{2}(2e^{2x-1})$ $s^{\prime}(x)=2xe^{2x-1}(1+x)$
