Topic: How to calculate a easy function's derivative?
ShatteredLead (Mar 27 2025 at 07:05):
I tried
import Mathlib
open Real
example: deriv (fun x : ℝ => 3 * x - 4 * x ^ 3) = (fun x => 3 - 12 * x ^ 2) := by simp
But simp made no progress

Can you write your question as a #mwe ?

Here is a way:
import Mathlib
example : deriv (fun x : ℝ => 3 * x - 4 * x ^ 3) = (fun x => 3 - 12 * x ^ 2) := by
ext x
rw [deriv_sub, deriv_const_mul, deriv_id'', deriv_const_mul, deriv_pow]
