Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    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:

    2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

    The result is:
