You're correct, the answer is C.
Given any function of the form
, then the derivative of y with respect to x (
) is written as:
In which
is any constant, this is called the power rule for differentiation.
For this example we have
, first lets get rid of the quotient and write the expression in the form :
Now we can directly apply the rule stated at the beginning (in which
):
Note that whenever we differentiate a function, we simply "ignore" the constants (we take them out of the derivative).
