    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. Differentiate term by term:

        1. Apply the power rule: goes to

        2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

        The result is:

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

        1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

          and .

          To find :

          1. Apply the power rule: goes to

          To find :

          1. Apply the power rule: goes to

          Now plug in to the quotient rule:

        So, the result is:

      The result is:

    2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

    The result is:
