Answer

f(x)=12x2e9+8x39+8x3 is the derivative of f(x)=e9+8x3

Steps

Step 1 :Identify the outer function as u and its derivative as 12u

Step 2 :Identify the inner function as 9+8x3 and its derivative as 24x2

Step 3 :Apply the chain rule to find the derivative of f(x)=9+8x3, which is f(x)=129+8x324x2

Step 4 :Simplify the derivative to get f(x)=12x29+8x3

Step 5 :f(x)=12x29+8x3 is the derivative of f(x)=9+8x3

Step 6 :Identify the outer function as eu and its derivative as eu

Step 7 :Identify the inner function as 9+8x3 and its derivative as 12x29+8x3

Step 8 :Apply the chain rule to find the derivative of f(x)=e9+8x3, which is f(x)=e9+8x312x29+8x3

Step 9 :Simplify the derivative to get f(x)=12x2e9+8x39+8x3

Step 10 :f(x)=12x2e9+8x39+8x3 is the derivative of f(x)=e9+8x3
