How do you differentiate #3(x^2-2)^4#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Konstantinos Michailidis Sep 21, 2015 It is #24x*(x^2-2)^3# Explanation: We set #f(x)=3*(x^2-2)^4# hence the derivative is #(d(f(x)))/dx=12*(x^2-2)^3*(2x)=24x*(x^2-2)^3# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
