Math Problem Statement

but now you're on board the spaceship #1725486563, and the captain is asking to solve "ZP" (Z Planet) problem (you know what it means when captain is "asking"... that's an order):

Use the chain rule to find the derivative of f(x)=2e10x8+3x5f(x)=2e10x8+3x5

f'(x)=f′(x)=  

!!! The challenge is that the Chain Rule on Earth, f(g(x))'=f'(g)g'(x)f(g(x))′=f′(g)g′(x) ,  is "twisted" on Z planet as the following:

 f(g(x))'=f'(g)g'(x)f(g(x))′=f′(g)g′(x)    (all the other rules have not been changed).
