$4 x^{5}$

Step 1

Since $4$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $4 x^{5}$ with respect to $x$ is $4 \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$ .

$4 \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 2

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 5$ .

$4 (5 x^{4})$

Step 3

Multiply $5$ by $4$ .

$20 x^{4}$
