To differentiate the function \( s(t) = 6t - 2(3t^4 + 4)^3 \), we will apply both the product rule and the chain rule for differentiation. First, differentiate \( 6t \) which gives \( 6 \). Now, for \( -2(3t^4 + 4)^3 \), we need to use the chain rule. Let \( u = 3t^4 + 4 \); then \( \frac{du}{dt} = 12t^3 \). Using the chain rule gives: \[ \frac{d}{dt}[-2u^3] = -6u^2 \cdot \frac{du}{dt} = -6(3t^4 + 4)^2 \cdot 12t^3 \] Now, putting it all together: \[ s^{\prime}(t) = 6 - 72t^3(3t^4 + 4)^2 \] Thus, the final expression for the derivative is: \[ s^{\prime}(t) = 6 - 72t^3(3t^4 + 4)^2 \]
