Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=5x^{4}-6x^{5}$

Work Step by Step

Set: $f(x)=x^{5}\ \ \quad g(x)=1-x$ $f^{\prime}(x)=5x^{4}\qquad g^{\prime}(x)=0-1=-1$ $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[f(x)g(x)]$= ... product rule ... $= f^{\prime}(x)g(x)+f(x)g^{\prime}(x)$ $=5x^{4}(1-x)+x^{5}(-1)$ $=5x^{4}-5x^{5}-x^{5}$ $=5x^{4}-6x^{5}$
