Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
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.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result is:
So, the result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
The answer is:
___ _______ \/ 2 *\/ 5 - x - --------------- 2 ------------------ 2*(5 - x)
___ -\/ 2 ------------ 3/2 8*(5 - x)
