g(x)=e^(x^2+2x)+3x\\ g'(x)=e^(x^2+2x)\cdot(2x+2)+3\\ g'(x)=2e^(x^2+2x)(x+1)+3

Ok first we can split it in two :
e^(x^2+2x) and
3x.

The derivative of
3x is 3.

For the first part, we use the chain rule :
[f(g(x))]'=g'(x)f'(g(x)) hence
(e^(x^2+2x))'=(x^2+2x)'e^(x^2+2x) (since the derivative of the exponential is itself) hence
g'(x)=(2x+2)e^(x^2+2x)+3
