Better to simplify it first:
g''(x) = (2/x^3 - 4/x)cos(2x) + (4/x^2)sin(2x)
Then there isn't a need for quotient rule.

shouldn't it arrive in the same answer tho?
i used the quotient rule for it

Yes, but this way it's harder to make mistakes. For me, at least.

okay, i get it
it seems like i made a mistake in multiplying it
shouldve been -12x^3 instead of -12x^2
now i can just divide all of them by x^2
and it arrives to the same answer

Ok, nice!
