Question
find the derivative
The given mathematical function is:

\[ h(w) = -9w^{-8} + 16\sqrt{w} \]

### Explanation:

- **Term 1**: \(-9w^{-8}\)
  - This represents a term where \( w \) is raised to the power of \(-8\).
  - The coefficient is \(-9\), indicating it is a negative term.

- **Term 2**: \(16\sqrt{w}\)
  - This represents a term involving the square root of \( w \).
  - The coefficient is \(16\), indicating it is a positive term. 

This function combines a negative power of \( w \) and a square root, highlighting concepts of exponent rules and roots.
