Apply the product rule:
; to find :
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:
; to find :
Differentiate term by term:
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:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
The result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
6 2 / 4 \ - 12*x - 3*x *\3*x - 2/
