Answer

$ 8(x-1)\cdot(2x^{2}-4x+1)$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=2x^{2}-4x+1, \ \ \quad g(x)=2x^{2}-4x+1,\quad y=f(x)\cdot g(x)$ $f^{\prime}(x)=2(2x)-4=4x-4$ $g^{\prime}(x)=4x-4$ $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[f(x)\cdot g(x)]$= ... product rule ... =$f^{\prime}(x)g(x)+f(x)g^{\prime}(x)$ $=(4x-4)\cdot(2x^{2}-4x+1)+(2x^{2}-4x+1)\cdot(4x-4)$ $=2(4x-4)\cdot(2x^{2}-4x+1)$ $=2\cdot 4(x-1)\cdot(2x^{2}-4x+1)$ $=8(x-1)\cdot(2x^{2}-4x+1)$
