Identify function: Identify the function to differentiate.We are given the function f(p)=4p4−4sin(p), and we need to find its derivative with respect to p.
Apply power rule: Apply the power rule to the first term.The power rule states that the derivative of pn with respect to p is n∗p(n−1). Therefore, the derivative of 4p4 with respect to p is 4×4p(4−1)=16p3.
Apply sine derivative rule: Apply the derivative rule for the sine function to the second term.The derivative of sin(p) with respect to p is cos(p). Therefore, the derivative of −4sin(p) with respect to p is −4cos(p).
Combine derivatives: Combine the derivatives of the terms.The derivative of the function f(p)=4p4−4sin(p) with respect to p is the sum of the derivatives of its terms, which is 16p3−4cos(p).
Write final answer: Write the final answer.The derivative of the function 4p4−4sin(p) with respect to p is 16p3−4cos(p).
