Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
\(y = (2x + 5)^{2} (x - 4)\)
\(\frac{\mathrm d y}{\mathrm d x} = (2x + 5)^{2} (1) + (x - 4)(2)(2)(2x + 5)\)
= \((2x + 5)(2x + 5 + 4x - 16)\)
= \((2x + 5)(6x - 11)\)
\(y = (2x + 5)^{2} (x - 4)\)
\(\frac{\mathrm d y}{\mathrm d x} = (2x + 5)^{2} (1) + (x - 4)(2)(2)(2x + 5)\)
= \((2x + 5)(2x + 5 + 4x - 16)\)
= \((2x + 5)(6x - 11)\)
