Q. Given the function f(x)=2(8x22)4 f(x)=-2\left(-8 x^{2}-2\right)^{4} , find f(x) f^{\prime}(x) in any form.\newlineAnswer: f(x)= f^{\prime}(x)=
  1. Identify Functions: We are given the function f(x)=2(8x22)4f(x)=-2(-8x^{2}-2)^{4}. To find the derivative f(x)f'(x), we will use the chain rule, which states that the derivative of a composite function is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function times the derivative of the inner function.
  2. Derivative of Outer Function: First, let's identify the outer function and the inner function. The outer function is u4u^4 where uu is the inner function, and the inner function is 8x22-8x^2 - 2.
  3. Derivative of Inner Function: The derivative of the outer function u4u^4 with respect to uu is 4u34u^3. We will later substitute the inner function back into uu.
  4. Apply Chain Rule: The derivative of the inner function 8x22-8x^2 - 2 with respect to xx is 16x-16x, since the derivative of 8x2-8x^2 is 16x-16x and the derivative of a constant is 00.
  5. Multiply by Constant: Now, we apply the chain rule: f(x)=f'(x) = derivative of outer function evaluated at inner function times derivative of inner function. This gives us f(x)=4(8x22)3×(16x)f'(x) = 4(-8x^2 - 2)^3 \times (-16x).
  6. Simplify Expression: Finally, we multiply the constant 2-2 from the original function by the derivative we just found to get the complete derivative of f(x)f(x). This gives us f(x)=2×4(8x22)3×(16x)f'(x) = -2 \times 4(-8x^2 - 2)^3 \times (-16x).
  7. Final Derivative: Simplify the expression by combining constants and keeping the rest of the expression intact. This gives us f(x)=2×4×(16x)×(8x22)3f'(x) = -2 \times 4 \times (-16x) \times (-8x^2 - 2)^3.
  8. Final Derivative: Simplify the expression by combining constants and keeping the rest of the expression intact. This gives us f(x)=2×4×(16x)×(8x22)3f'(x) = -2 \times 4 \times (-16x) \times (-8x^2 - 2)^3.Multiplying the constants 2-2, 44, and 16x-16x together, we get f(x)=128x×(8x22)3f'(x) = 128x \times (-8x^2 - 2)^3.
