Step 1.2.1

Apply the product rule to $3 (x)$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{π}{3^{2} x^{2}}]$

Raise $3$ to the power of $2$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{π}{9 x^{2}}]$

Step 2

Since $\frac{π}{9}$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $\frac{π}{9 x^{2}}$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{π}{9} \frac{d}{d x} [\frac{1}{x^{2}}]$ .

$\frac{π}{9} \frac{d}{d x} [\frac{1}{x^{2}}]$
