4 / 2 \ \x - 2*x + 4/
(x^2 - 2*x + 4)^4
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
Differentiate term by term:
Apply the power rule: goes to
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result is:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
3 / 2 \ \x - 2*x + 4/ *(-8 + 8*x)
2 / 2 \ / 2 2\ 8*\4 + x - 2*x/ *\4 + x - 2*x + 6*(-1 + x) /
