Answer

$r^{\prime}(x)=12xe^{6x^{2}}$

Work Step by Step

With $u=e^{2x^{2}}$, we use the generaalized power rule, $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[u^{n}]=nu^{n-1}\frac{du}{dx}$ $r^{\prime}(x)=3u^{2}\displaystyle \cdot\frac{du}{dx}=3(e^{2x^{2}})^{2}\cdot\frac{du}{dx}=3e^{4x^{2}}\cdot\frac{du}{dx}$ $\displaystyle \frac{du}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[e^{2x^{2}}]=e^{2x^{2}}\cdot\frac{d}{dx}[2x^{2}]$ $=e^{2x^{2}}(2\cdot 2x)$ $=4xe^{2x^{2}}$ So, $r^{\prime}(x)=3e^{4x^{2}}\cdot 4xe^{2x^{2}}$ $r^{\prime}(x)=12xe^{6x^{2}}$
