The correct Answer is:
To find the derivative of the function \( g(x) = x(x - 3)(x^2 + x) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the function Start by rewriting the function in a more manageable form. We can first expand the product of the first two factors: \[ g(x) = x(x - 3)(x^2 + x) = x(x^2 - 3x)(x^2 + x) \] ### Step 2: Expand the function Now, we will expand \( g(x) \): 1. Multiply \( x \) by \( (x - 3) \): \[ x(x - 3) = x^2 - 3x \] 2. Now multiply this result by \( (x^2 + x) \): \[ g(x) = (x^2 - 3x)(x^2 + x) \] Using the distributive property (FOIL method): \[ g(x) = x^2 \cdot x^2 + x^2 \cdot x - 3x \cdot x^2 - 3x \cdot x \] \[ g(x) = x^4 + x^3 - 3x^3 - 3x^2 \] \[ g(x) = x^4 - 2x^3 - 3x^2 \] ### Step 3: Differentiate the function Now we differentiate \( g(x) \) using the power rule: \[ g'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x^4) - \frac{d}{dx}(2x^3) - \frac{d}{dx}(3x^2) \] Calculating each derivative: \[ g'(x) = 4x^3 - 6x^2 - 6x \] ### Step 4: Final result Thus, the derivative of the function \( g(x) \) is: \[ g'(x) = 4x^3 - 6x^2 - 6x \]
