Detail solution
  1. Let u=x2u = x - 2.

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

  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:

    3(x2)23 \left(x - 2\right)^{2}

  4. Now simplify:

    3(x2)23 \left(x - 2\right)^{2}


The answer is:

3(x2)23 \left(x - 2\right)^{2}
