$$2x^{12}$$

Solution Steps

To raise a power to another power, multiply the exponents. Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.

$$2x^{12}-x^{4}\left(x^{4}\right)^{2}+x^{6}\left(x^{3}\right)^{2}$$

To raise a power to another power, multiply the exponents. Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$2x^{12}-x^{4}x^{8}+x^{6}\left(x^{3}\right)^{2}$$

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 4 and 8 to get 12.

$$2x^{12}-x^{12}+x^{6}\left(x^{3}\right)^{2}$$

To raise a power to another power, multiply the exponents. Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$2x^{12}-x^{12}+x^{6}x^{6}$$

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 6 and 6 to get 12.

$$2x^{12}-x^{12}+x^{12}$$

Combine 2x^{12} and -x^{12} to get x^{12}.

$$x^{12}+x^{12}$$

Combine x^{12} and x^{12} to get 2x^{12}.

$$2x^{12}$$

Differentiate w.r.t. x

$$24x^{11}$$
