Question

Evaluate d/dx[(1+x²)(4-3x⁴)³] at x=1
Options
A -72
B 70
C -70
Correct Answer
D 20
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

By the product rule: d/dx = 2x(4-3x⁴)³ + (1+x²)·3(4-3x⁴)²(-12x³). At x=1: 2(1)³+2·3(1)²(-12) = 2-72 = -70.

Hint

Apply the product rule, then substitute x=1 into each piece separately before combining.
