Derivative of x^4-4x^3

The solution

You have entered [src]

 4      3
x  - 4*x

$$x^{4} - 4 x^{3}$$

x^4 - 4*x^3

Detail solution

Differentiate $x^{4} - 4 x^{3}$ term by term:
1. Apply the power rule: $x^{4}$ goes to $4 x^{3}$
2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
  1. Apply the power rule: $x^{3}$ goes to $3 x^{2}$
  So, the result is: $- 12 x^{2}$
The result is: $4 x^{3} - 12 x^{2}$
Now simplify:

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

The answer is:

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