Q. Find the derivative of the following function.

\newline

y=e^{-8 x^{5}}

\newline

Answer:

y^{\prime}=

Identify Function and Rule: Identify the function and the rule to use for differentiation. $\newline$ We have the function $y = e^{-8x^{5}}$ . To find the derivative, we will use the chain rule, which states that the derivative of a composite function is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function times the derivative of the inner function.
Apply Chain Rule: Apply the chain rule to differentiate the function. $\newline$ The outer function is $e^u$ , where $u = -8x^{5}$ . The derivative of $e^u$ with respect to $u$ is $e^u$ . The inner function is $u = -8x^{5}$ , and its derivative with respect to $x$ is $-8 \times 5x^{5-1} = -40x^{4}$ .
Multiply Derivatives: Multiply the derivatives of the outer and inner functions. $\newline$ The derivative of $y$ with respect to $x$ , denoted as $y'$ , is the product of the derivative of the outer function and the derivative of the inner function. Therefore, $y' = e^{(-8x^{5})} \times (-40x^{4})$ .
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression for the derivative. $\newline$ $y' = -40x^{4} \cdot e^{-8x^{5}}$ $\newline$ This is the simplified form of the derivative.
