Answer

$f^{\prime}(x)=8x^{3}+9x^{2}$

Work Step by Step

SUMMARY:$\\\\$ The Power Rule$:\ \ \ [x^{n}]^{\prime}=nx^{n-1 }\\$ Sum Rule: $\ \ \ \ \ \ [f\pm g]^{\prime}(x)=f^{\prime}(x)\pm g^{\prime}(x)\\$ Constant Multiple Rule:$\ \ \ [cf]^{\prime}(x)=cf^{\prime}(x)\\$ $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(cx)=c,\ \ \ \ \ \frac{d}{dx}(c)=0\\$ -------------------------------- $f^{\prime}(x)=[2x^{4}+3x^{3}-1]^{\prime}$=... Sum Rule... $=[2x^{4}]^{\prime}+[3x^{3}]^{\prime}-[1]^{\prime}$=...individually: $[2x^{4}]^{\prime}$=... Constant Multiple Rule... $=2[x^{4}]^{\prime}$=... Power Rule... $=2(4x^{3})=8x^{3}$ $[3x^{3}]^{\prime}$=... Constant Multiple Rule... $=3[x^{3}]^{\prime}$=... Power Rule... $=3(3x^{2})=9x^{2}$ $[1]^{\prime}$=...(constant)'...=0 $f^{\prime}(x)=8x^{3}+9x^{2}$
