derivative of 2(x-2)

\frac{d}{d x} (2 (x - 2))

2

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (2 (x - 2))

Take the constant out:

(a \cdot f)^{'} = a \cdot f^{'}

= 2 \frac{d}{d x} (x - 2)

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

(f \pm g)^{'} = f^{'} \pm g^{'}

= 2 (\frac{d x}{d x} - \frac{d}{d x} (2))

\frac{d x}{d x} = 1

\frac{d}{d x} (2) = 0

= 2 (1 - 0)

Simplify

= 2
