Product and chain rules:
The derivative of 0 is, of course, 0. So we have, upon differentiating everything,
Isolate the derivative, and solve for it:
(See comment below; all the 6s should be 2s)
We can simplify this a bit by multiplying the numerator and denominator by to get rid of that fraction in the denominator.
