Step 1.1
By the Sum Rule, the derivative of 3-x23x2 with respect to xx is ddx[3]+ddx[-x2]ddx[3]+ddx[x2].
ddx[3]+ddx[-x2]ddx[3]+ddx[x2]
Step 1.2
Since 33 is constant with respect to xx, the derivative of 33 with respect to xx is 00.
0+ddx[-x2]0+ddx[x2]
0+ddx[-x2]0+ddx[x2]
Step 2
Evaluate ddx[-x2]ddx[x2].

Step 2.1
Since -11 is constant with respect to xx, the derivative of -x2x2 with respect to xx is -ddx[x2]ddx[x2].
0-ddx[x2]0ddx[x2]
Step 2.2
Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that ddx[xn]ddx[xn] is nxn-1nxn1 where n=2n=2.
0-(2x)0(2x)
Step 2.3
Multiply 22 by -11.
0-2x02x
0-2x02x
Step 3
Subtract 2x2x from 00.
