Question 183715: Differentiate the function. Do not expand any expression before differentiating:
a) f(x)=[(2-x)^4+16]^3
b) f(x)=1/((x^2)-16)^5

Differentiate the function. Do not expand any expression before differentiating:
Use the chain rule as follows:
a) f(x)=[(2-x)^4+16]^3
f'(x) = 3[(2-x)^4+16]^2 * 4(2-x)^3 * (-1)
---------------------
b) f(x)=1/((x^2)-16)^5
f(x) = ((x^2)-16)^-5
f'(x) = -5[((x^2)-16)^-4]
