Solve x^2-x^2/4

$${ x }^{ 2 } - \frac{ { x }^{ 2 } }{ 4 }$$

Differentiate w.r.t. x

$$\frac{3x}{2}$$

Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

Combine x^{2} and -\frac{x^{2}}{4} to get \frac{3}{4}x^{2}.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(\frac{3}{4}x^{2})$$

The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.

$$2\times \frac{3}{4}x^{2-1}$$

Multiply 2 times \frac{3}{4}.

$$\frac{3}{2}x^{2-1}$$
