Textbook Question
Find the derivative of the following functions.
y = x² (1 - In x²)

1
Identify the function to differentiate: y = x² (1 - ln(x²)).
Apply the product rule for differentiation, which states that if you have a function u(x)v(x), then the derivative is u'v + uv'.
Let u = x² and v = (1 - ln(x²)), then find the derivatives u' and v'.
Calculate u' = 2x and v' using the chain rule: v' = -1 * (1/x²) * 2x = -2/x.
Combine the results using the product rule: y' = u'v + uv' and simplify the expression.
