You have entered [src]
 4      3
x  - 4*x 
$$x^{4} - 4 x^{3}$$
x^4 - 4*x^3
Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    1. Apply the power rule: goes to

    2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      So, the result is:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
      2      3
- 12*x  + 4*x 
$$4 x^{3} - 12 x^{2}$$
The second derivative [src]
12*x*(-2 + x)
$$12 x \left(x - 2\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
24*(-1 + x)
$$24 \left(x - 1\right)$$
