Is 2t(2te^(t^2))+2e^(t^2) the derivative of 2te^(t^2)? Please let me know if I'm on the right track.
remember
d(abc)/dt=(bc)da/dt+(ac)db/dt+(ab)dc/dt
let a=2
b=t
and c=e^(t^2)
da/dt=d(2)/dt=0 remember derivitives of constants are 0
db/dt=dt/dt=1
and dc/dt=d(e^(t^2))/dt=e^(t^2)d(t^2)/dt=2te^(t^2) apply the chain rule
It looks like you're on the right track
