   2    4
4*x  - x

- x^{4} + 4 x^{2}

4*x^2 - x^4

Detail solution

Differentiate $- x^{4} + 4 x^{2}$ term by term:
1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
  1. Apply the power rule: $x^{2}$ goes to $2 x$
  So, the result is: $8 x$
2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
  1. Apply the power rule: $x^{4}$ goes to $4 x^{3}$
  So, the result is: $- 4 x^{3}$
The result is: $- 4 x^{3} + 8 x$
Now simplify:

$4 x \left(2 - x^{2}\right)$

The answer is:

4 x \left(2 - x^{2}\right)
