F'(3)=152.

Explanation:

Given that, F(x)=5x^3+4x^2-7x+4, and we have to find F'(3).

We know that, (x^n)'=nx^(n-1)...................(ast).

Therefore, we have,

F'(x)={5x^3+4x^2-7x+4}',

=(5x^3)'+(4x^2)'-(7x)'+(4)',

=5(x^3)'+4(x^2)'-7(x^1)'+0,

=5(3x^(3-1))+4(2x^(2-1))-7(1x^(1-1))............[because, (ast)],

=5(3x^2)+4(2x^1)-7(x^0),

:. F'(x)=15x^2+8x-7.

:. F'(3)=15(3)^2+8(3)-7=135+24-7,

rArr F'(3)=152.
