Find the derivative of the given function.
y=(4x−3x2+9)⋅25x
A
B
25x⋅(−15x2−14x+49)
C
25x[(4−6x)+ln(2)(4x−3x2+9)]
D
5ln(2)(4−6x)⋅25x

Identify the function as a product of two functions: u(x) = (4x - 3x^2 + 9) and v(x) = 2^{5x}.
Apply the product rule for differentiation, which states that the derivative of a product u(x)v(x) is u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x).
Differentiate u(x) = 4x - 3x^2 + 9 to get u'(x) = 4 - 6x.
Differentiate v(x) = 2^{5x} using the chain rule. The derivative is v'(x) = 2^{5x} * 5ln(2).
Substitute u(x), u'(x), v(x), and v'(x) into the product rule formula to find the derivative: y' = (4 - 6x)2^{5x} + (4x - 3x^2 + 9) * 2^{5x} * 5ln(2).
