Differentiate term by term:
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Apply the product rule:
; to find :
Apply the power rule: goes to
; to find :
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 the constant is zero.
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
The result is:
To find :
The derivative of the constant is zero.
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
