$(3 - c^{2} d) (4 - 4 c^{2} d)$

Step 1

Differentiate using the Product Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d c} [f (c) g (c)]$ is $f (c) \frac{d}{d c} [g (c)] + g (c) \frac{d}{d c} [f (c)]$ where $f (c) = 3 - c^{2} d$ and $g (c) = 4 - 4 c^{2} d$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) \frac{d}{d c} [4 - 4 c^{2} d] + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) \frac{d}{d c} [3 - c^{2} d]$

Step 2.1

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $4 - 4 c^{2} d$ with respect to $c$ is $\frac{d}{d c} [4] + \frac{d}{d c} [- 4 c^{2} d]$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) (\frac{d}{d c} [4] + \frac{d}{d c} [- 4 c^{2} d]) + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) \frac{d}{d c} [3 - c^{2} d]$

Step 2.2

Since $4$ is constant with respect to $c$ , the derivative of $4$ with respect to $c$ is $0$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) (0 + \frac{d}{d c} [- 4 c^{2} d]) + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) \frac{d}{d c} [3 - c^{2} d]$

Step 2.3

Add $0$ and $\frac{d}{d c} [- 4 c^{2} d]$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) \frac{d}{d c} [- 4 c^{2} d] + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) \frac{d}{d c} [3 - c^{2} d]$

Step 2.4

Since $- 4 d$ is constant with respect to $c$ , the derivative of $- 4 c^{2} d$ with respect to $c$ is $- 4 d \frac{d}{d c} [c^{2}]$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) (- 4 d \frac{d}{d c} [c^{2}]) + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) \frac{d}{d c} [3 - c^{2} d]$

Step 2.5

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d c} [c^{n}]$ is $n c^{n - 1}$ where $n = 2$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) (- 4 d (2 c)) + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) \frac{d}{d c} [3 - c^{2} d]$

Step 2.6

Multiply $2$ by $- 4$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) (- 8 d c) + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) \frac{d}{d c} [3 - c^{2} d]$

Step 2.7

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $3 - c^{2} d$ with respect to $c$ is $\frac{d}{d c} [3] + \frac{d}{d c} [- c^{2} d]$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) (- 8 d c) + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) (\frac{d}{d c} [3] + \frac{d}{d c} [- c^{2} d])$

Step 2.8

Since $3$ is constant with respect to $c$ , the derivative of $3$ with respect to $c$ is $0$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) (- 8 d c) + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) (0 + \frac{d}{d c} [- c^{2} d])$

Step 2.9

Add $0$ and $\frac{d}{d c} [- c^{2} d]$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) (- 8 d c) + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) \frac{d}{d c} [- c^{2} d]$

Step 2.10

Since $- d$ is constant with respect to $c$ , the derivative of $- c^{2} d$ with respect to $c$ is $- d \frac{d}{d c} [c^{2}]$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) (- 8 d c) + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) (- d \frac{d}{d c} [c^{2}])$

Step 2.11

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d c} [c^{n}]$ is $n c^{n - 1}$ where $n = 2$ .

$(3 - c^{2} d) (- 8 d c) + (4 - 4 c^{2} d) (- d (2 c))$

Step 2.12
