Define Functions: Let's denote the first function as u=(2x+1)5 and the second function as v=(x3−x+1)4. We will need to find the derivatives u′ and v′ of these functions.
Find Derivatives: First, we find the derivative of u=(2x+1)5. Using the chain rule, we get u′=5⋅(2x+1)4⋅2, since the derivative of the inner function 2x+1 is 2.
Apply Product Rule: Now, we find the derivative of v=(x3−x+1)4. Again, using the chain rule, we get v′=4⋅(x3−x+1)3⋅(3x2−1), since the derivative of the inner function x3−x is 3x2−1.
Simplify Expression: Using the product rule, the derivative of y=uv is y′=u′v+uv′. Substituting the derivatives we found, we get y′=(5(2x+1)42)(x3−x+1)4+(2x+1)5(4(x3−x+1)3(3x2−1)).
Final Derivative: Now we simplify the expression for y′. We distribute the terms and combine like terms if possible.y′=10⋅(2x+1)4⋅(x3−x+1)4+(2x+1)5⋅4⋅(x3−x+1)3⋅(3x2−1).
Final Derivative: Now we simplify the expression for y′. We distribute the terms and combine like terms if possible.y′=10⋅(2x+1)4⋅(x3−x+1)4+(2x+1)5⋅4⋅(x3−x+1)3⋅(3x2−1).The expression for y′ is now fully simplified, and we cannot combine terms further because they are not like terms. Therefore, the derivative of the function y=(2x+1)5(x3−x+1)4 is:y′=10⋅(2x+1)4⋅(x3−x+1)4+12⋅(2x+1)5⋅(x3−x+1)3⋅(x2−31).
