Solution Steps

To find the derivative of the function \( f(x) = (8x - x^3)(2x + 7) \) using the Product Rule, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the two functions being multiplied: \( u(x) = 8x - x^3 \) and \( v(x) = 2x + 7 \).
  2. Compute the derivatives of these functions: \( u'(x) \) and \( v'(x) \).
  3. Apply the Product Rule: \( f'(x) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x) \).
Step 1: Define the Functions

We start with the function \( f(x) = (8x - x^3)(2x + 7) \). We identify the two components:

  • \( u(x) = 8x - x^3 \)
  • \( v(x) = 2x + 7 \)
Step 2: Compute the Derivatives

Next, we compute the derivatives of \( u \) and \( v \):

  • \( u'(x) = 8 - 3x^2 \)
  • \( v'(x) = 2 \)
Step 3: Apply the Product Rule

Using the Product Rule, we find the derivative \( f'(x) \): \[ f'(x) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x) \] Substituting the values, we have: \[ f'(x) = (8 - 3x^2)(2x + 7) + (8x - x^3)(2) \]

Step 4: Simplify the Expression

Now, we simplify the expression for \( f'(x) \): \[ f'(x) = (8 - 3x^2)(2x + 7) + 2(8x - x^3) \] Expanding this gives: \[ f'(x) = -2x^3 + 16x + (8 - 3x^2)(2x + 7) \] After further simplification, we arrive at: \[ f'(x) = -8x^3 - 21x^2 + 32x + 56 \]

Final Answer

The derivative of the function is: \[ \boxed{f'(x) = -8x^3 - 21x^2 + 32x + 56} \]

A probability experiment consists of rolling an eight-sided die and spinning the spinner shown at the right. The spinner is equally likely to land on each color. Use a tree diagram to find the probability of the given event. Then tell whether the event can be considered unusual. Event: rolling a number less than 7 and the spinner landing on yellow The probability of the event is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) Can the event be considered unusual? A. No, because the probability is not close enough to 0 . B. Yes, because the probability is close enough to 0 . C. No, because the probability is not close enough to 1 . D. Yes, because the probability is close enough to 1.
