y=(5x-4)^5(4-x^4)^5 differentiate the function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the product rule will help alot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did use the product rule. i've been stuck in this problem for a really long time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where are you stuck?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(5x-4)^5 ((-20x^3(4-x^4)^4) + (4-x^4)^5 ((25(5x-4)^4))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know what to do next. I know im supposed to simplify it but im not getting the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or factor it out but ugh i cant get it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(5x-4)^5 ((-20x^3(4-x^4)^4) + (4-x^4)^5 ((25(5x-4)^4)) ^^ this ^^ is in both terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well sort of - it's raised to the 4th power in the other part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then (4-x^4)^5 is common also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or the 4 - x^4 part at least

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me step by step after what i got to get dy/dx=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can use substitution and then factor and then resubstitute back i got to go though, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea but i dont know what to do with the exp
