Derivative of (2x-3)^2

1. Let $u = 2 x - 3$.

2. Apply the power rule: $u^{2}$ goes to $2 u$

3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(2 x - 3\right)$:

   1. Differentiate $2 x - 3$ 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: $x$ goes to $1$

         So, the result is: $2$

      2. The derivative of the constant $-3$ is zero.

      The result is: $2$

   The result of the chain rule is:

   $$8 x - 12$$

The answer is:

$$8 x - 12$$
