Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Let .
The derivative of is itself.
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
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:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
1 3*x - + --- 2 2 -1 - 3*x 3*x + 1 3*e *e *e ----------------------------- 2
1 3*x - + --- 2 2 9*e ---------- 4
1 3*x - + --- 2 2 27*e ----------- 8
1 3*x - + --- 2 2 729*e ------------ 64
