Detail solution

Let $u = x^{2} - 1$ .
Apply the power rule: $u^{n}$ goes to $\frac{n u^{n}}{u}$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(x^{2} - 1\right)$ :
1. Differentiate $x^{2} - 1$ term by term:
  1. Apply the power rule: $x^{2}$ goes to $2 x$
  2. The derivative of the constant $\left(-1\right) 1$ is zero.
  The result is: $2 x$
The result of the chain rule is:

$\frac{2 n x \left(x^{2} - 1\right)^{n}}{x^{2} - 1}$
Now simplify:

$2 n x \left(x^{2} - 1\right)^{n - 1}$

The answer is:

$2 n x \left(x^{2} - 1\right)^{n - 1}$
