If this is the expression %286%2Ax%5E%28-4%29%29%2A%284x%5E5%29 then here is what to do:

%286%2Ax%5E%28-4%29%29%2A%284x%5E5%29 given

%286%29%2F%28x%5E4%29%2A%284x%5E5%29 move the x%5E%28-4%29 to the bottom of the fraction and change it to x%5E4

24%2Ax multiply the constants together, and simplify the exponents of x, ie x%5E5%2Fx%5E4 is just x

24x should be your final answer!

I hope this helps!
