Steps

Step 1 :Given that $f(x)$ is a mystery function where $f((-50))=\ln (7)$ and $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=0$.

Step 2 :We are asked to determine $\int_{-50}^{\infty} 27 f^{\prime}(x) e^{3 f(x)} d x$.

Step 3 :This integral is in the form of $\int_{a}^{b} u dv$, where $u = 27f(x)$ and $dv = e^{3f(x)}f'(x)dx$.

Step 4 :We can use integration by parts, which states that $\int_{a}^{b} u dv = [uv]_{a}^{b} - \int_{a}^{b} v du$. Here, $v = \frac{1}{3}e^{3f(x)}$ and $du = 27f'(x)dx$.

Step 5 :Substituting these values into the integration by parts formula, we get $-9*f(x)*exp(3*f(-50)) + 9*f(x)*exp(3*f(\infty)) - 9*\int_{-50}^{\infty} exp(3*f(x))*f'(x) dx$.

Step 6 :Given that $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=0$ and $f(-50) = \ln(7)$, the term $9*f(x)*exp(3*f(\infty))$ will be zero because $f(\infty) = 0$.

Step 7 :The term $-9*f(x)*exp(3*f(-50))$ will be $-9*\ln(7)*exp(3*\ln(7)) = -9*\ln(7)*7^3$.

Step 8 :The integral term $-9*\int_{-50}^{\infty} exp(3*f(x))*f'(x) dx$ will be zero because the integrand is the derivative of $exp(3*f(x))$, which will be zero at both $-50$ and $\infty$ due to the properties of $f(x)$.

Step 9 :So, the final answer is $-9*\ln(7)*7^3$.

Step 10 :\(\boxed{-9*\ln(7)*7^3}\)
