Derivative of \( \displaystyle x \left(- 25 x^{2} + 45 x - 27\right) \)

Problem 2.1186 · 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. \[ = - 25 x^{2} + x \frac{d}{d x} \left(- 25 x^{2} + 45 x - 27\right) + 45 x - 27 \]
    derivative constant-multipleDifferentiate the first part of the product. Simplify the first term.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = - 25 x^{2} + x \left(- \frac{d}{d x} 27 + \frac{d}{d x} 45 x + \frac{d}{d x} \left(- 25 x^{2}\right)\right) + 45 x - 27 \]
    sumDifferentiate the sum inside the parentheses.✓ Proved
  5. \[ = - 25 x^{2} + x \left(45 - 50 x\right) + 45 x - 27 \]
    derivative constantDifferentiate each term in the sum. The derivative of the constant 27 is 0.✓ Proved
  6. \[ = - 75 x^{2} + 90 x - 27 \]
    algebra simplifyDistribute x into the parentheses. Combine like terms.✓ Proved
Answer \( - 75 x^{2} + 90 x - 27 \)

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.
