Product Rule and Polynomial Operations

The video tutorial from Excellence Academy introduces the product rule, a method of differentiation. It begins by explaining the concept of a product in mathematics, which is the result of multiplication. The tutorial then derives the product rule formula, which is used when differentiating a function expressed as the product of two functions. A step-by-step example is provided, demonstrating how to apply the product rule to differentiate a given function. The solution involves expanding, simplifying, and factorizing the result to achieve the final answer.
