The derivative of \((n^2-1) x^{3n-2}\) can be expressed as
- \(3(n-1)(n^2-1) x^{3n-2}\)
- \(3(n-1)(n^2-1) x^{3(n-1)}\)
- \((3n-2) (n^2-1) x^{3(n-1)}\)
- \((3n-2) (n^2-1) x^{3n-2}\)

The derivative of \((n^2-1) x^{3n-2}\) can be expressed as
\(C\)
| \(y\) | \(=(n^2-1) x^{3n-2}\) | |
| \(y^{′}\) | \(=(3n-2) (n^2-1) x^{3n-2-1)}\) | |
| \(=(3n-2) (n^2-1) x^{3(n-1)}\) |
\(\Rightarrow C\)

`y^{′}`
`=2 xx (1-4x)^5-40x(1-4x)^4`
`=2(1-4x)^4(1-4x-20x)`
`=2(1-4x)^4(1-24x)`
The derivative of \(n x^{2n+1}\) can be expressed as
\(C\)
| \(y\) | \(=n x^{2n+1}\) | |
| \(y^{′}\) | \(=(2 n+1) n x^{2n+1-1}\) | |
| \(=(2 n+1) n x^{2 n}\) |
\(\Rightarrow C\)
Differentiate `x^4 + 5x^(−1)` with respect to `x`. (2 marks)
`4x^3 – 5x^(-2)`
| `y` | `= x^4 + 5x^(-1)` |
| `dy/dx` | `= 4x^3 – 5x^(-2)` |
