Derivative of (x-4)^2

The solution

You have entered [src]

       2
(x - 4)

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

(x - 4)^2

Detail solution

Let $u = x - 4$ .
Apply the power rule: $u^{2}$ goes to $2 u$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 4\right)$ :
1. Differentiate $x - 4$ term by term:
  1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
  2. The derivative of the constant $-4$ is zero.
  The result is: $1$
The result of the chain rule is:

$2 x - 8$

The answer is:

$2 x - 8$
