Detail solution
  1. Differentiate x42x2+2x^{4} - 2 x^{2} + 2 term by term:

    1. Apply the power rule: x4x^{4} goes to 4x34 x^{3}

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

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

        1. Apply the power rule: x2x^{2} goes to 2x2 x

        So, the result is: 4x4 x

      So, the result is: 4x- 4 x

    3. The derivative of the constant 22 is zero.

    The result is: 4x34x4 x^{3} - 4 x

  2. Now simplify:

    4x(x21)4 x \left(x^{2} - 1\right)


The answer is:

4x(x21)4 x \left(x^{2} - 1\right)
