How do you differentiate f(x)=2x(x^2-1) using the product rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Product Rule 1 Answer Jothi S. Dec 6, 2015 2(3x^2-1) Explanation: f(x)=2x(x^2-1) df/dx=2(dx/dx.(x^2-1)+xd/dx(x^2-1)) Product rule: d/dx(uv)=(du/dx)v+u(dv/dx) df/dx=2((x^2-1)+x.2x) df/dx=2(x^2-1+2x^2)=2(3x^2-1) Answer link Related questions What is the Product Rule for derivatives?
