Find the derivative?
PLEASE HELP
Im really stuck!

f'(x)= (x²+1)(x+4) + x(2x)(x+4)+x(x²+1)
or you can multiply it all out and do the simple derivative of a polynomial
F(x) = x(x^2 + 1) (X + 4)
When expanded, it will give you the following.
F(x) = x(x^3 + 4x^2 + x + 4)
Furthermore,
F(x) = x^4 + 4x^3 + x^2 + 4x)
This time you can now get its derivative, that is F'(x).
F'(x) = 4x^3 + 12x^2 + 2x + 4
HOPE THIS HELPS
X (X² + 1) (X + 4) into X⁴+ 4X³ + X² + 4X using FOIL:
X (X² + 1) = X³ + 1X
(X³ + 1X) (X + 4) = 1X⁴+ 4X³ + 1X² + 4X
Then derive the simplified equation using the rule F´(x) = nXⁿ⁻¹
So:
1X⁴ becomes 4X³
4X³ becomes 12X²
1X² becomes 2X
4X becomes 4 (in this case we can think of 4X as 4X¹ thus 1 * 4X ¹⁻¹⁼⁰ = 4)
And all together you get F´(x) = 4X³ + 12X² + 2X + 4
