(x - 4)^3
Detail solution
  1. Let u=x4u = x - 4.

  2. Apply the power rule: u3u^{3} goes to 3u23 u^{2}

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x4)\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 4\right):

    1. Differentiate x4x - 4 term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

      2. The derivative of the constant 4-4 is zero.

      The result is: 11

    The result of the chain rule is:

    3(x4)23 \left(x - 4\right)^{2}

  4. Now simplify:

    3(x4)23 \left(x - 4\right)^{2}


The answer is:

3(x4)23 \left(x - 4\right)^{2}
