Question

If \(f(x)=5x^{6}-3x^{5}+2x^{3}+x^{2}+e^{3}\), then f′(x)=
A \(5x^{5}-3x^{4}+2x^{2}-x\)
B \(30x^{5}-15x^{4}+6x^{2}-2x\)
C \(30x^{5}-15x^{4}+6x^{2}-2x+3e^{2}\)
D \(30x^{6}-15x^{5}+6x^{3}-2x^{2}\)

Answer/Explanation

Ans:B
This question involves using the power rule \(\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} x}x^{n}=nx^{n-1}\) for differentiation of polynomial functions as follows.

\(6.5x^{5}-5.3x^{4}+3.2x^{2}-2x^{1}\)
