We are going to use the formula #(u*v)'=u'v+uv'#
#u=2^x#
#u'=2^x ln2# (See below)
#v=ln2#
#v'=0# (Note that #v# is a constant.)
Thus #f'(x)=(2^x ln2)(ln2)+(2^x ln2)(0)#
#f'(x)=2^x (ln2)^2#
Note !:
If you have not memorized #d/dx(a^x) = a^x lna#, then you'll need to use:
#2^x = e^(xln2)#, whose derivative can be found by the chain rule:
#d/dx(2^x) = d/dx(e^(xln2)) = e^(xln2) * d/dx(xln2)#
#= e^(xln2) ln2 = 2^x ln2#
Note2:
Because #ln2# is a constant, we don't really need the product rule.
#d/dx(2^x ln2) =( ln2) d/dx(2^x) = (ln2) (2^x ln2) = 2^x (ln2)^2#
