00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.574
Here is the problem: derivative of (x squared plus 1) to the power 5.

2
00:00:05.024 --> 00:00:10.190
Find the derivative of (x squared plus 1) to the power 5 with respect to x.

3
00:00:10.990 --> 00:00:19.674
Power rule with the chain rule: d by d x[u to the power n] equals n times u to the power n minus 1 times u prime.

4
00:00:20.124 --> 00:00:23.247
Sum rule: differentiate each term separately.

5
00:00:23.697 --> 00:00:30.419
Power rule: d by d x[x to the power n] equals n times x to the power n minus 1.

6
00:00:30.869 --> 00:00:32.390
Combine and simplify.

7
00:00:33.190 --> 00:00:38.763
So the answer is f prime of x equals 10(x squared plus 1) to the power 4x.

8
00:00:39.213 --> 00:00:52.379
The derivative is built from the outside in: sums split into terms, constants factor out, products and quotients use their rules, and every composite function multiplies by the derivative of its inside (chain rule).

00:00:53.179 --> 00:00:59.715
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
