One way to differentiate the expression could be to expand (2x+1)4 multiply by x and differentiate term by term, but it is simpler instead to use the structure of the expression and differentiate step by step using the differentiation rules.

To begin with, we have a product of x and (2x+1)4 so the product rule gives that

ddxx(2x+1)4=(x)(2x+1)4+x(2x+1)4=1(2x+1)4+x(2x+1)4.

We can differentiate the expression (2x+1)4 by viewing it as "something raised to the 4",

The chain rule then gives

ddx4ddx(2x+1)4=43=4(2x+1)3(2x+1).

We carry out the last differentiation directly, and obtain

(2x+1)=2.

If we go through the whole calculation from the beginning, it is

ddxx(2x+1)4=(x)(2x+1)4+x(2x+1)4=1(2x+1)4+x4(2x+1)3(2x+1)=(2x+1)4+x4(2x+1)32=(2x+1)4+8x(2x+1)3.

Both terms contain a common factor (2x+1)3 which we can take out to get an answer in factorized form,

ddxx(2x+1)4=(2x+1)3(2x+1)+8x=(2x+1)3(10x+1).
