deriv2: Product Rule for Derivatives (Single-Choice)

Exercise template for computing the derivative (single-choice) of a product function with factors of type xa and exp(b * x) at a given point c, with randomly-drawn a, b, and c.

Description:
Computing the first derivative of a product function with two factors and randomly-drawn parameters, using the product rule. In addition to the correct solution, four false alternatives are generated through num_to_schoice() by providing two common errors along with a range and minimal delta for two further random solutions.
