⚠ 2x is read as the product 2*x: for a power, write 2^x‖3^{x^4-2x^2} is read as 3^(x^4-2x^2) Let's perform the differentiation: ddx(3(x4 -2x2)) You can convert the expression: 3(x4 -2x2) into: e((x4 -2x2)·ln(3)) ddx((x4 -2x2)·ln(3))·e((x4 -2x2)·ln(3)) ℹddx((x4 -2x2)·ln(3)) = ln(3)·ddx(x4 -2x2)‖ddx(x4 -2x2) = ddx(x4) + ddx(-2x2)‖e((x4 -2x2)·ln(3)) = 3(x4 -2x2) ln(3)·(ddx(x4) + ddx(-2x2))·3(x4 -2x2) ℹddx(x4) = 4x3‖ddx(-2x2) = -2·ddx(x2)‖ddx(x2) = 2x ln(3)·(4x3 -2·2x)·3(x4 -2x2) ln(3)·(4x3 -4x)·3(x4 -2x2) (ln(3)·4x3 + ln(3)·(-4)x)·3(x4 -2x2) (ln(3)·4x3 -ln(3)·4x)·3(x4 -2x2) ln(3)·4x3·3(x4 -2x2) -ln(3)·4x·3(x4 -2x2) ▶Derivative: 4·3(x4 -2x2)·x3·ln(3) -4·3(x4 -2x2)·x·ln(3)
