Step-by-step solution

To differentiate the expression (x2+3)(2x2−1)(x^2 + 3)(2x^2 - 1) with respect to xx, we can first expand the product and then differentiate each term.

  1. Expand the given expression.

    Let y=(x2+3)(2x2−1)y = (x^2 + 3)(2x^2 - 1).
    Multiply the terms:

    y=x2(2x2)+x2(−1)+3(2x2)+3(−1)y = x^2(2x^2) + x^2(-1) + 3(2x^2) + 3(-1) y=2x4−x2+6x2−3y = 2x^4 - x^2 + 6x^2 - 3

    Combine like terms:

    y=2x4+5x2−3y = 2x^4 + 5x^2 - 3
  2. Differentiate yy with respect to xx.

    We use the power rule for differentiation, which states that ddx(axn)=anxn−1\frac{d}{dx}(ax^n) = anx^{n-1}, and the derivative of a constant is 0.

    dydx=ddx(2x4)+ddx(5x2)−ddx(3)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(2x^4) + \frac{d}{dx}(5x^2) - \frac{d}{dx}(3)
  3. Apply the power rule to each term.

    For 2x42x^4:

    ddx(2x4)=2⋅4x4−1=8x3\frac{d}{dx}(2x^4) = 2 \cdot 4x^{4-1} = 8x^3

    For 5x25x^2:

    ddx(5x2)=5⋅2x2−1=10x\frac{d}{dx}(5x^2) = 5 \cdot 2x^{2-1} = 10x

    For −3-3:

    ddx(−3)=0\frac{d}{dx}(-3) = 0
  4. Combine the differentiated terms.

    dydx=8x3+10x−0\frac{dy}{dx} = 8x^3 + 10x - 0 dydx=8x3+10x\frac{dy}{dx} = 8x^3 + 10x

    Comparing this result with the given options:
    A. 8x3−20x8x^3 - 20x
    B. 8x3+10x8x^3 + 10x
    C. x3−10xx^3 - 10x
    D. 8x3−10x8x^3 - 10x

    The correct option is B.

    The final answer is B. 8x3+10x\boxed{\text{B. } 8x^3 + 10x}.
