Answer

True

Work Step by Step

True. We need the following fact. $p(x)=x^n\Rightarrow p^{(n)}(x)=n!$ and $p^{(n+1)}(x)=p^{(n+2)}(x)=\ldots=0$ Given $f(x)=(x^6-x^4)^5$ Extending the polynomial, $f(x)=x^{30}+\ldots-x^{20}$ Differentiating $30$ times and using the fact above, $f^{(30)}(x)=30!+\ldots -0$ Differentiate once then we get $f^{(31)}(x)=0$
