STEP 1

1. We are given the function f(x)=5x2cosx f(x) = 5x^2 \cos x .
2. We need to find the derivative f(x) f'(x) .

STEP 2

1. Identify the rule for differentiation to be used.
2. Apply the product rule to differentiate f(x) f(x) .
3. Simplify the expression for f(x) f'(x) .

STEP 3

Identify the rule for differentiation: We will use the product rule, which states that if u(x) u(x) and v(x) v(x) are functions of x x , then the derivative of their product is given by:
(uv)=uv+uv (uv)' = u'v + uv'
In this case, let u(x)=5x2 u(x) = 5x^2 and v(x)=cosx v(x) = \cos x .

STEP 4

Differentiate u(x)=5x2 u(x) = 5x^2 :
u(x)=ddx(5x2)=10x u'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(5x^2) = 10x

STEP 5

Differentiate v(x)=cosx v(x) = \cos x :
v(x)=ddx(cosx)=sinx v'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(\cos x) = -\sin x

STEP 6

Apply the product rule:
f(x)=u(x)v(x)+u(x)v(x) f'(x) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x) f(x)=(10x)(cosx)+(5x2)(sinx) f'(x) = (10x)(\cos x) + (5x^2)(-\sin x)

STEP 7

Simplify the expression for f(x) f'(x) :
f(x)=10xcosx5x2sinx f'(x) = 10x \cos x - 5x^2 \sin x
The derivative of the function f(x)=5x2cosx f(x) = 5x^2 \cos x is:
f(x)=10xcosx5x2sinx f'(x) = 10x \cos x - 5x^2 \sin x
