f'(x) =

Solution

To find the derivative f(x)f'(x) of the function

f(x)=(7x5+9x37)ln(x),f(x) = (7x^5 + 9x^3 - 7) \ln(x),

we need to apply the product rule and the chain rule for differentiation.

Step-by-step solution:

Let u(x)=7x5+9x37u(x) = 7x^5 + 9x^3 - 7 and v(x)=ln(x)v(x) = \ln(x).

1. Apply the product rule:

f(x)=u(x)v(x)+u(x)v(x).f'(x) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x).

2. Differentiate u(x)u(x):

u(x)=ddx(7x5+9x37)=35x4+27x2.u'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(7x^5 + 9x^3 - 7) = 35x^4 + 27x^2.

3. Differentiate v(x)v(x):

v(x)=ddx(ln(x))=1x.v'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(\ln(x)) = \frac{1}{x}.

4. Substitute into the product rule:

f(x)=(35x4+27x2)ln(x)+(7x5+9x37)1x.f'(x) = (35x^4 + 27x^2) \ln(x) + (7x^5 + 9x^3 - 7) \cdot \frac{1}{x}.

5. Simplify the second term:

1x(7x5+9x37)=7x4+9x27x.\frac{1}{x}(7x^5 + 9x^3 - 7) = 7x^4 + 9x^2 - \frac{7}{x}.

Thus, the derivative is:

f(x)=(35x4+27x2)ln(x)+7x4+9x27x.f'(x) = (35x^4 + 27x^2) \ln(x) + 7x^4 + 9x^2 - \frac{7}{x}.

This is the expression for f(x)f'(x).
