Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \sqrt{x} \mathrm{e}^x\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\mathrm{u}=\mathrm{e}^x\) and \(\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{x}\) Differentiating u and v w.r.t. \(x\), we get
\(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\mathrm{du}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\mathrm{e}^x, \frac{\mathrm{dv}}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}} \\
\therefore \quad & \frac{\mathrm{du}}{\mathrm{dv}}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{du}}{\mathrm{dx}}}{\frac{\mathrm{dv}}{\mathrm{dx}}}=\frac{\mathrm{e}^x}{\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}}=2 \mathrm{e}^x \sqrt{x}
\end{aligned}\)
