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

    1. Let .

    2. Apply the power rule: goes to

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

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      The result of the chain rule is:

    So, the result is:
