Find the derivative of x^3 (2x-5)^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^3(2x-5)^4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the chain rule, do you know what that is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, its just way to many steps for me to process right now. Ill show you what I have so far.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x^3 (2x-5)^3 * (12x^2 (2x-5)^3 * 2 I feel like I goofed up on this :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 (2x-5)^3 (14x-15)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looks like someone else uses WolframAlpha too :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have not done derivatives in a while

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Found out how to do it, It was so much simpler than I though it would be. I just used the product rule of x^3 * (2x-5)^4

Thanks for giving me the motivation to think!
