Following Khodaei [11], by using a new classical direct (Hyers) manner, we study some stability problems for a unified functional equation having monomials as solutions. Indeed, we obtain more exact approximations of the Ulam stability in comparison to the previous studies. In other words, we find Rassias stability results for the former functional equation in the setting of 2-Banach spaces. Eventually, by finding better error estimations, we improve some results obtained by Kang and Koh [A fixed point approach to the stability of sextic Lie \(*\) -derivations, Filomat, 31 (2017), 4933-4944] for Lie \(*\) -derivations of degree n.
