How do you find the derivative for 2x^4-12x4−1? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Summary of Differentiation Rules 1 Answer Shura Jun 2, 2015 f(x) = 2x^4 - 1 = g(x) + h(x)f(x)=2x4−1=g(x)+h(x), where g(x) = 2x^4g(x)=2x4 and h(x) = -1h(x)=−1 f'(x) = g'(x) + h'(x) = (2x^4)' + (-1)' = 4*2x^(4-1) + 0 = 8x^3.
