calculate derivative of f(x)=5x (x-1)^4

We also could expand the binomial and then we'll
differentiate each term of the polynomial.


(x-1)^4 = x^4 -
4x^3 + 6x^2 - 4x + 1 (1)


Now, we'll multiply (1) by
5x:


5x(x-1)^4 = 5x(x^4 - 4x^3 + 6x^2 - 4x +
1)


5x(x-1)^4 = 5x^5 - 20x^4 + 30x^3 - 20x^2 +
5x


We'll differentiate with respect to x and we'll
get:


f'(x) = 25x^4 - 80x^3 + 90x^2 - 40x +
5


We'll factorize by
5:


f'(x) = 5(5x^4 - 16x^3 + 18x^2 - 8x +
1)

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
