(x - 2)^4
Detail solution
  1. Let u=x2u = x - 2.

  2. Apply the power rule: u4u^{4} goes to 4u34 u^{3}

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x2)\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 2\right):

    1. Differentiate x2x - 2 term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

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

      The result is: 11

    The result of the chain rule is:

    4(x2)34 \left(x - 2\right)^{3}

  4. Now simplify:

    4(x2)34 \left(x - 2\right)^{3}


The answer is:

4(x2)34 \left(x - 2\right)^{3}
