Answer:

There are 44 derangements of the hats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- A derangement is a permutation of objects that leaves no object in its original position.

- The permutation 21453 is a derangement of 12345 because no number is left in its original  position. However, 21543 is not a derangement of 12345, because this permutation leaves 4 fixed.

- Let Dn denote the number of derangements of n objects:

The number of derangements of a set with n elements is:

            D_n = n!* [ 1 - 1/1! + 1 / 2! - 1 /3! + ...+ (-1)^n 1/n! ]

- The answer is the number of ways the hats can be arranged so that there is no hat in its original  position divided by n!, the number of permutations of n hats:

            D_5 = 5!* [ 1 - 1/1! + 1 / 2! - 1 /3! + 1 /4! - 1/5!]\\\\D_5 = 44 ways

- There are 44 derangements of the hats.

The picture is not clear. let me assume y = (x^4)ln(x^3)

product rule :
d f(x)g(x) = f(x) dg(x) + g(x) df(x)

dy/dx = (x^4)d[ln(x^3)/dx] + d[(x^4)/dx] ln(x^3)
= (x^4)d[ln(x^3)/dx] + 4(x^3) ln(x^3)

look at d[ln(x^3)/dx]
d[ln(x^3)/dx]
= d[ln(x^3)/dx][d(x^3)/d(x^3)]
= d[ln(x^3)/d(x^3)][d(x^3)/dx]
= [1/(x^3)][3x^2] = 3/x
... chain rule (in detail)

end up with
dy/dx = (x^4)[3/x] + 4(x^3) ln(x^3)
= x^3[3 + 4ln(x^3)]
