Solution
Solution Steps
To find the derivative \( f^{\prime}(x) \) of the given function \( f(x) = (x^5 + 4x)(3x^3 + 3x - 5) \), we will use the product rule. The product rule states that if you have a function \( f(x) = u(x) \cdot v(x) \), then the derivative \( f^{\prime}(x) = u^{\prime}(x) \cdot v(x) + u(x) \cdot v^{\prime}(x) \). After finding \( f^{\prime}(x) \), we will evaluate it at \( c = 0 \) to find \( f^{\prime}(c) \).
Step 1: Define the Function and Apply the Product Rule
Given the function \( f(x) = (x^5 + 4x)(3x^3 + 3x - 5) \), we need to find its derivative \( f^{\prime}(x) \). We apply the product rule, which states that if \( f(x) = u(x) \cdot v(x) \), then \( f^{\prime}(x) = u^{\prime}(x) \cdot v(x) + u(x) \cdot v^{\prime}(x) \).
Step 2: Differentiate Each Component
Let \( u(x) = x^5 + 4x \) and \( v(x) = 3x^3 + 3x - 5 \).
The derivative of \( u(x) \) is \( u^{\prime}(x) = 5x^4 + 4 \).
The derivative of \( v(x) \) is \( v^{\prime}(x) = 9x^2 + 3 \).
