x  - 4*x
x24xx^{2} - 4 x
x^2 - 4*x
Detail solution
  1. Differentiate x24xx^{2} - 4 x term by term:

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

    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: 2x42 x - 4


The answer is:

2x42 x - 4
