Find the local max and min
f(x)=xe^x
Homework Equations
first find the derivative of xe^x and then set it to 0
The Attempt at a Solution
I understand how to approach the problem but I don't know how to break apart the original equation since there is an exponent there. I know if I ln both sides I can get rid of the e and therefore bring down the x exponent, but ln(0) does not exist.
