Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
Apply the power rule: goes to
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
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:
So, the result is:
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
2 / 2\ \-2 + 3*x / 6 - ------------ 2 / 2\ x *\-2 + x / ---------------- 2 -2 + x
