4 / 2 \ \x + 3*x/
/ 4\ d |/ 2 \ | --\\x + 3*x/ / dx
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
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.
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 / 2 \ \x + 3*x/ *(12 + 8*x)
2 2 / 2 \ 4*x *(3 + x) *\3*(3 + 2*x) + 2*x*(3 + x)/
/ 2 \ 24*x*(3 + x)*(3 + 2*x)*\(3 + 2*x) + 3*x*(3 + x)/
