Question

Find the second derivative of the function.

f(x)= (3x^3+7)^7

Answers

Steve
no problem

f' = 7(3x^3+7)^6 * 9x^2
= 63x^2 (3x^3+7)^6

f" = 126x(3x^3+7)^6 + 63x^2 * 6(3x^3+7)^5 * 9x^2
= 126x(3x^3+7)^5 (3x^3+7 + 27x^3)
= 126x(3x^3+7)^5 (30x^3+7)

I have these ans choices:

A. f= 63x(7+3x^3)^5 (14+60x^3)

B. f= 63x(7+3x^3)^5 (14+63x^3)

C. f= 63x(7+3x)^5 (14+63x^3)

D. f= 63x(7+3x^3)^5 (14-60x^3)

Come on, guy. move the 2 from 126 into the last term. Algebra I, here.

good man.

no idea why they didn't factor out the 2 as well.
