__________ / 2 \/ 6*x - x
/ __________\ d | / 2 | --\\/ 6*x - x / dx
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
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 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 result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
3 - x ------------- __________ / 2 \/ 6*x - x
/ 2\
| (-3 + x) |
-|1 + ---------|
\ x*(6 - x)/

___________
\/ x*(6 - x)
/ 2\
| (-3 + x) |
-3*|1 + ---------|*(-3 + x)
\ x*(6 - x)/
---------------------------
3/2
