x^3 - 4*x
Detail solution

  1. Differentiate x3−4xx^{3} - 4 x term by term:

    1. Apply the power rule: x3x^{3} goes to 3x23 x^{2}

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

      1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

      So, the result is: −4-4

    The result is: 3x2−43 x^{2} - 4

The answer is:

3x2−43 x^{2} - 4
