![**Problem Statement:**
Find the first and second derivatives of \( y = 14e^{-4x} \).
**Solution:**
**Step 1: First Derivative**
Given the function \( y = 14e^{-4x} \), we need to find the first derivative \(\frac{dy}{dx}\).
The derivative of \( e^{u(x)} \) is \( e^{u(x)} \cdot \frac{du}{dx} \), where \( u(x) = -4x \).
1. Calculate \(\frac{d}{dx}(-4x) = -4\).
2. Use the chain rule:
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 14e^{-4x} \cdot (-4) \]
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = -56e^{-4x} \]
**Step 2: Second Derivative**
Next, we find the second derivative \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\).
1. Start with the first derivative: \(\frac{dy}{dx} = -56e^{-4x} \)
2. Again, use the chain rule:
\[ \frac{d}{dx}(-56e^{-4x}) = -56 \cdot (e^{-4x} \cdot (-4)) \]
\[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -56 \cdot -4e^{-4x} \]
\[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 224e^{-4x} \]
**Conclusion:**
The first derivative of \( y = 14e^{-4x} \) is:
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = -56e^{-4x} \]
The second derivative of \( y = 14e^{-4x} \) is:
\[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 224e^{-4x} \]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff65fb7b2-ba85-4e67-8fe1-01f97a564d1e%2F1cfff0f5-c596-4db2-bca0-4b4a4c3faf08%2Fkazfzj_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
