Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} g{\left(x \right)} = f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}

    f(x)=x2f{\left(x \right)} = x^{2}; to find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

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

    g(x)=(x2)2g{\left(x \right)} = \left(x - 2\right)^{2}; to find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Let u=x2u = x - 2.

    2. Apply the power rule: u2u^{2} goes to 2u2 u

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x2)\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 2\right):

      1. Differentiate x2x - 2 term by term:

        1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

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

        The result is: 11

      The result of the chain rule is:

      2x42 x - 4

    The result is: x2(2x4)+2x(x2)2x^{2} \left(2 x - 4\right) + 2 x \left(x - 2\right)^{2}

  2. Now simplify:

    4x(x2)(x1)4 x \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right)


The answer is:

4x(x2)(x1)4 x \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right)
