sqrt(4 - (x - 2*a)^2)
Detail solution
  1. Let .

  2. Apply the power rule: goes to

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

        1. Let .

        2. Apply the power rule: goes to

        3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
