Question
========
What is the derivative of $f(x) = x^{`r a`} e^{`r b` x}$, evaluated at $x = `r c`$?

Solution
========
Using the product rule for $f(x) = g(x) \cdot h(x)$, where $g(x) := x^{`r a`}$ and $h(x) := e^{`r b` x}$, we obtain
$$
\begin{aligned}
f'(x) &= [g(x) \cdot h(x)]' = g'(x) \cdot h(x) + g(x) \cdot h'(x) \\
      &= `r a` x^{`r a` - 1} \cdot e^{`r b` x} + x^{`r a`} \cdot e^{`r b` x} \cdot `r b` \\
      &= e^{`r b` x} \cdot(`r a` x^`r a-1` + `r b` x^{`r a`}) \\
      &= e^{`r b` x} \cdot x^`r a-1` \cdot (`r a` + `r b` x).
\end{aligned}
$$
Evaluated at $x = `r c`$, the answer is
$$ e^{`r b` \cdot `r c`} \cdot `r c`^`r a-1` \cdot (`r a` + `r b` \cdot `r c`) = `r fmt(res, 6)`. $$
Thus, rounded to two digits we have $f'(`r c`) = `r fmt(res)`$.
