Question
Find the derivative of $x^5 (3 - 6x^{-9})$

Answer

Here $f(x) = x^5 (3 - 6x^{-9})$
$ = {x^5}\frac{d}{{dx}}(3 - 6{x^{ - 9}}) + (3 - 6{x^{ - 9}})\frac{d}{{dx}}({x^5})$
$= x^5(54x^{-10}) + (3 - 6x^{-9}) \times 5x^4$
$= 54x^{-5} + 15x^4 - 30x^{-5}$
$= 24x^{-5} + 15x^4$
$= \frac{{24}}{{{x^5}}} + 15{x^4}$
