The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
Apply the power rule: goes to
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
So, the result is:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
So, the result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
-8 + 2*x --------------------- / 2 \ \x - 8*x + 7/*log(7)
/ 2 \ | 2*(-4 + x) | -2*|-1 + ------------| | 2 | \ 7 + x - 8*x/ ---------------------- / 2 \ \7 + x - 8*x/*log(7)
/ 2 \ | 4*(-4 + x) | 4*(-4 + x)*|-3 + ------------| | 2 | \ 7 + x - 8*x/ ------------------------------ 2 / 2 \ \7 + x - 8*x/ *log(7)
