Problem 2.1181 · hard

Differentiate \( \displaystyle f(x) = x \left(25 x^{2} - 45 x + 27\right) \).
  1. \[ \frac{d}{d x} x \left(25 x^{2} - 45 x + 27\right) \]
    Start with the derivative of the function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = x \frac{d}{d x} \left(25 x^{2} - 45 x + 27\right) + \left(25 x^{2} - 45 x + 27\right) \frac{d}{d x} x \]
    productApply the product rule.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = 25 x^{2} + x \left(\frac{d}{d x} 27 - \frac{d}{d x} 45 x + \frac{d}{d x} 25 x^{2}\right) - 45 x + 27 \]
    derivativeDifferentiate each term in the second factor.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = 25 x^{2} + x \left(\frac{d}{d x} 25 x^{2} - 45\right) - 45 x + 27 \]
    constant constantDifferentiate the constant terms. Differentiate the linear term.✓ Proved

  • qwen3.6:27b-mlx: fail (error) — Step 3 applies the sum rule to split the derivative of the polynomial, but labels it 'derivative'. The label 'derivative' is reserved for unfolding d/dx on a known form (like d/dx(x^n)), not for structural decomposition of sums. Additionally, Step 3 performs two distinct operations: differentiating the first factor (x -> 1) and splitting the second factor's derivative, violating the one-rule-per-step constraint.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-09-29 with SymPy 1.14.0.
