$f (x) = 2 {(π - e)}^{4}$

Step 1

Use the Binomial Theorem.

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 (π^{4} + 4 π^{3} (- e) + 6 π^{2} {(- e)}^{2} + 4 π {(- e)}^{3} + {(- e)}^{4})]$

Step 2.1

Multiply $- 1$ by $4$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} {(- e)}^{2} + 4 π {(- e)}^{3} + {(- e)}^{4})]$

Step 2.2

Apply the product rule to $- e$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} ({(- 1)}^{2} e^{2}) + 4 π {(- e)}^{3} + {(- e)}^{4})]$

Step 2.3

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $2$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} (1 e^{2}) + 4 π {(- e)}^{3} + {(- e)}^{4})]$

Step 2.4

Multiply $e^{2}$ by $1$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} e^{2} + 4 π {(- e)}^{3} + {(- e)}^{4})]$

Step 2.5

Apply the product rule to $- e$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} e^{2} + 4 π ({(- 1)}^{3} e^{3}) + {(- e)}^{4})]$

Step 2.6

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $3$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} e^{2} + 4 π (- e^{3}) + {(- e)}^{4})]$

Step 2.7

Multiply $- 1$ by $4$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} e^{2} - 4 π e^{3} + {(- e)}^{4})]$

Step 2.8

Apply the product rule to $- e$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} e^{2} - 4 π e^{3} + {(- 1)}^{4} e^{4})]$

Step 2.9

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $4$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} e^{2} - 4 π e^{3} + 1 e^{4})]$

Step 2.10

Multiply $e^{4}$ by $1$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} e^{2} - 4 π e^{3} + e^{4})]$

Step 3

Since $2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} e^{2} - 4 π e^{3} + e^{4})$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $2 (π^{4} - 4 π^{3} e + 6 π^{2} e^{2} - 4 π e^{3} + e^{4})$ with respect to $x$ is $0$ .
