__________ / 2 / /y\ a*y* / 1 - |-| \/ \b/
(a*y)*sqrt(1 - (y/b)^2)
Apply the product rule:
; to find :
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
; to find :
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
