Math Problem Statement

Given f(x)=4⋅arcsin(e^(8x)), find f′(x).

Solution

To find the derivative f(x)f'(x) of the function f(x)=4arcsin(e8x)f(x) = 4 \cdot \arcsin(e^{8x}), we will apply the chain rule.

  1. Differentiate the outer function: The derivative of arcsin(u)\arcsin(u) is 11u2\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - u^2}} where u=e8xu = e^{8x}.

  2. Differentiate the inner function: The derivative of e8xe^{8x} is 8e8x8e^{8x}.

Now, using the chain rule:

f(x)=411(e8x)2(8e8x)f'(x) = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - (e^{8x})^2}} \cdot (8e^{8x})

Thus, we can write:

f(x)=32e8x1e16xf'(x) = \frac{32 e^{8x}}{\sqrt{1 - e^{16x}}}

This is the derivative of the function.

Summary

f(x)=32e8x1e16xf'(x) = \frac{32 e^{8x}}{\sqrt{1 - e^{16x}}}
