Detail solution
  1. Differentiate x4x3x^{4} - x^{3} term by term:

    1. Apply the power rule: x4x^{4} goes to 4x34 x^{3}

    2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

      1. Apply the power rule: x3x^{3} goes to 3x23 x^{2}

      So, the result is: 3x2- 3 x^{2}

    The result is: 4x33x24 x^{3} - 3 x^{2}

  2. Now simplify:

    x2(4x3)x^{2} \cdot \left(4 x - 3\right)


The answer is:

x2(4x3)x^{2} \cdot \left(4 x - 3\right)
