Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the constant, constant multiple, and power rules for derivatives: bring down the exponent and multiply it by the constant, then replace it with an exponent that is 1 less than what it was. The derivative of
[tex]f(x)=-8x^2-5x-4[/tex] would look like this:
[tex]f'(x)=-8(2)x^1-5-0[/tex] simplifying to
[tex]f'(x)=-16x-5[/tex]
