1. **State the problem:** Differentiate the function $$y=\frac{x^3}{4-5x}$$ with respect to $$x$$.
2. **Recall the quotient rule:** For $$y=\frac{u}{v}$$, the derivative is $$y' = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2}$$.
3. **Identify $$u$$ and $$v$$:** Here, $$u = x^3$$ and $$v = 4 - 5x$$.
4. **Compute derivatives:** $$u' = 3x^2$$ and $$v' = -5$$.
5. **Apply the quotient rule:**
$$
y' = \frac{3x^2(4 - 5x) - x^3(-5)}{(4 - 5x)^2}
$$
6. **Simplify numerator:**
$$
3x^2(4 - 5x) + 5x^3 = 12x^2 - 15x^3 + 5x^3 = 12x^2 - 10x^3
$$
7. **Final derivative:**
$$
y' = \frac{12x^2 - 10x^3}{(4 - 5x)^2}
$$
This matches the answer given, confirming the derivative is $$\frac{2x^2(6 - 5x)}{(4 - 5x)^2}$$ after factoring out $$2x^2$$.
**Answer:** $$y' = \frac{2x^2(6 - 5x)}{(4 - 5x)^2}$$
