How do you find the derivative for #f(x) = (2x+1)(4-x^2)(1+x^2)#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Product Rule 1 Answer Massimiliano Jun 14, 2015 #y'=2(-5x^4-2x^3+9x^2-3x+4)#. Explanation: in this way: #y'=2*(4-x^2)(1+x^2)+(2x+1)* (-2x)*(1+x^2)+(2x+1)(4-x^2)*2x=# #=2(4+4x^2-x^2-x^4-2x^2-2x^4-x-x^3+8x^2-2x^4+4x-x^3)=# #=2(-5x^4-2x^3+9x^2-3x+4)#.
