Transform

Detail solution

Apply the quotient rule, which is:

$\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$

$f{\left(x \right)} = x^{2} - 4 x$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \left(x - 2\right)^{2}$ .

To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. Differentiate $x^{2} - 4 x$ term by term:
  1. Apply the power rule: $x^{2}$ goes to $2 x$
  2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
    1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
    So, the result is: $-4$
  The result is: $2 x - 4$
To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. Let $u = x - 2$ .
2. Apply the power rule: $u^{2}$ goes to $2 u$
3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 2\right)$ :
  1. Differentiate $x - 2$ term by term:
    1. The derivative of the constant $-2$ is zero.
    2. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
    The result is: $1$
  The result of the chain rule is:
  
  $2 x - 4$
Now plug in to the quotient rule:

$\frac{\left(x - 2\right)^{2} \cdot \left(2 x - 4\right) - \left(2 x - 4\right) \left(x^{2} - 4 x\right)}{\left(x - 2\right)^{4}}$
Now simplify:

$\frac{8}{x^{3} - 6 x^{2} + 12 x - 8}$

The answer is:

$\frac{8}{x^{3} - 6 x^{2} + 12 x - 8}$
