    Product Rule for Derivatives: Understanding and Applying

    Homework Statement \frac{d}{dx}x^{2}y^{2} = ? Homework Equations Power rule: \frac{d}{dx}x^{n} = nx^{n-1} Product rule: \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)g(x)] = f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x) The Attempt at a Solution My TI-89 titanium gives me 2xy^{2} Which contradicts the power rule. Doing this by...
