The product rule says that if $u$ and $v$ are functions of $x$ then
\\[\\simplify[std]{Diff(u * v,x,1) = u * Diff(v,x,1) + v * Diff(u,x,1)}\\]

\n\t \n\t \n\t \n\t

For this example:

\n\t \n\t \n\t \n\t

\\[\\simplify[std]{u = ({a} + {b} * x) ^ {m}}\\Rightarrow \\simplify[std]{Diff(u,x,1) = {m * b} * ({a} + {b} * x) ^ {m -1}}\\]

Clicking on Show steps gives you more information, you will not lose any marks by doing so.
