What formula do you use to solve this?
![**Problem Statement:**
Evaluate the following expression and determine if it is true or false:
\[
\frac{d^2}{dx^2} \left( x^2 \cos(x) \right) = 2\cos(x) - 4x\sin(x) - x^2 \cos(x)
\]
**Options:**
- ○ true
- ○ false
**Explanation:**
The equation is testing the second derivative of the function \( x^2 \cos(x) \) with respect to \( x \). To solve this, apply calculus rules for differentiation, specifically the product rule and the chain rule, to determine the second derivative. Then, compare it with the expression on the right-hand side: \( 2\cos(x) - 4x\sin(x) - x^2 \cos(x) \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc388c4d9-a82e-4d00-b1c6-bf9fe1b7875d%2F6d621e7f-e399-45c2-aed0-8549a875c668%2F5r8yfai_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
