Detail solution

  1. Let .

  2. Apply the power rule: goes to

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

        1. Apply the power rule: goes to

        So, the result is:

      2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      The result is:

    The result of the chain rule is:

  4. Now simplify:

The answer is:
