![**Problem Statement:**
Find \(\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{4}{x^6} \right)\).
**Solution:**
To solve the given problem, we need to differentiate the function \(\frac{4}{x^6}\) with respect to \(x\).
First, we can rewrite the function as a power of \(x\):
\[
\frac{4}{x^6} = 4x^{-6}
\]
Now we will differentiate \(4x^{-6}\) using the power rule of differentiation, which states that \(\frac{d}{dx} (x^n) = nx^{n-1}\).
Applying this rule, we get:
\[
\frac{d}{dx} (4x^{-6}) = 4 \cdot (-6)x^{-6-1}
\]
Simplifying this, we obtain:
\[
\frac{d}{dx} (4x^{-6}) = -24x^{-7}
\]
Therefore, the derivative of \(\frac{4}{x^6}\) is:
\[
\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{4}{x^6} \right) = -24x^{-7}
\]
In summary, the solution to the problem is:
\[
\boxed{-24x^{-7}}
