Given ​ f(x) = 7 x squared cosine x7x2cosx​, find f prime left parenthesis x right parenthesisf′(x).


To find the derivative of the given function \( f(x) = 7x^2 \cos(x) \), we will use the product rule. The product rule states that if we have a function \( f(x) = u(x)v(x) \), then its derivative is:

\[
f'(x) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x)
\]

Here, \( u(x) = 7x^2 \) and \( v(x) = \cos(x) \).

First, we find the derivatives of \( u(x) \) and \( v(x) \):

1. \( u(x) = 7x^2 \)
\[
u'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[7x^2] = 14x
\]

2. \( v(x) = \cos(x) \)
\[
v'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\cos(x)] = -\sin(x)
\]

Now we apply the product rule:

\[
f'(x) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x)
\]

Substitute \( u(x) \), \( u'(x) \), \( v(x) \), and \( v'(x) \) into the product rule formula:

\[
f'(x) = (14x)(\cos(x)) + (7x^2)(-\sin(x))
\]

Simplify the expression:

\[
f'(x) = 14x \cos(x) - 7x^2 \sin(x)
\]

Thus, the derivative of \( f(x) = 7x^2 \cos(x) \) is:

\[
f'(x) = 14x \cos(x) - 7x^2 \sin(x)
\]
