Combine 4x and -x to get 3x.
\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(4x-4-x)
Use the distributive property to multiply 1 by 4x-4.
\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(3x-4)
Combine 4x and -x to get 3x.
3x^{1-1}
The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is 0. The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.
3x^{0}
Subtract 1 from 1.
3\times 1
For any term t except 0, t^{0}=1.
3
For any term t, t\times 1=t and 1t=t.
