The image shows a handwritten mathematical expression on lined paper. The expression reads as follows:

\[ \frac{d}{dx} \left[ x e^{x} \right] \]

This notation represents the derivative of the function \( x e^{x} \) with respect to \( x \).

To find this derivative, apply the product rule of differentiation, which states that if you have two functions \( u(x) \) and \( v(x) \), the derivative of their product is given by:

\[ \frac{d}{dx} [u(x) v(x)] = u'(x) v(x) + u(x) v'(x) \]

In this case, let \( u(x) = x \) and \( v(x) = e^{x} \). 

1. The derivative of \( u(x) = x \) is \( u'(x) = 1 \).
2. The derivative of \( v(x) = e^{x} \) is \( v'(x) = e^{x} \).

Using the product rule:

\[ \frac{d}{dx} \left[ x e^{x} \right] = x \frac{d}{dx} \left[ e^{x} \right] + e^{x} \frac{d}{dx} \left[ x \right] \]
\[ = x e^{x} + e^{x} \cdot 1 \]
\[ = x e^{x} + e^{x} \]

Therefore, the derivative of \( x e^{x} \) with respect to \( x \) is:

\[ \frac{d}{dx} \left[ x e^{x} \right] = e^{x} (x + 1) \]
