Find the derivative of the function. y = 5(2-x²)4 Step 1 Apply the general power rule which states that if y = [u(x)], where u is a differentiable function of x and n is a rational number, then dy/dx = n[u(x)]n-¹du/dx Let u = 2x² and substitute u for 2x² in the original equation. y = 5(2-x²)4 = 5 4(-2x) (2-x²) ³
