Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

    1. Apply the power rule: goes to

    To find :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      2. 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:

      The result is:

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

  2. Now simplify:
