(x^2 - 1)^3
Detail solution
  1. Let u=x21u = x^{2} - 1.

  2. Apply the power rule: u3u^{3} goes to 3u23 u^{2}

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x21)\frac{d}{d x} \left(x^{2} - 1\right):

    1. Differentiate x21x^{2} - 1 term by term:

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

      2. The derivative of the constant 1-1 is zero.

      The result is: 2x2 x

    The result of the chain rule is:

    6x(x21)26 x \left(x^{2} - 1\right)^{2}

  4. Now simplify:

    6x(x21)26 x \left(x^{2} - 1\right)^{2}


The answer is:

6x(x21)26 x \left(x^{2} - 1\right)^{2}
