I think it will also be 16.75 as well
I guess it is simplifying the expression:

Answer: The derivative of the function
is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the derivative of
with respect to x is given by :
(1)
The given function is 
Differential both sides with respect to x , we get

( Using (1))
Therefore , the derivative of the function
is
.
The answer is D. Hope this helps
