Question

Find the derivative of...

Answer 1

\[8^(8 - x^2)\]

Answer 2

8 raised to the power of (8 - x^2).. its kinda hard to tell

Answer 3

Multiply the 8 through and you get 64 - 8x^2=
-16x

Answer 4

oh wait 8^(8-x^2)? Nevermind hang on.

Answer 5

nono.. its 8^(8 - x^2)

Answer 6

First rewrite it as 8^8 * 8^-(x^2).

8^8 is just a constant, so it stays out front. then we have chain rule of a power to the x.

d(a^x)/dx = ln(a)a^x

So, we get 8^8 * ln(8) * 8 ^ -(x^2) * (-2x)
