my first line after using the product rule would be
(2x-1)^4(-1)(4x+1)^-2(4) + (4x+1)^-1(5)(2x-1(^4(2)
= -4(2x-1)^5(4x+1)^-2 + 10(4x+1)^-1(2x-1)^4
= (2x-1)^4(4x+1)^-2[-4(2x-1) + 10(4x+1)]
= (2x-1)^4(4x+1)^-2(32x + 14)
= 2(2x-1)^4(4x+1)^-2(16x+7)
perhaps your teacher will not insist that you completely simplify it.
I expected my students to arrive at the above answer.
