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

    and .

    To find :

    1. Apply the product rule:

      ; to find :

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      ; to find :

      1. Differentiate term by term:

        1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

        2. Let .

        3. The derivative of is itself.

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

          1. 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 of the chain rule is:

        The result is:

      The result is:

    To find :

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

      1. The derivative of is itself.

      So, the result is:

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:
