Step 3.1

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

$M^{2} \frac{d}{d M} [\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3}] + (\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3}) \frac{d}{d M} [M^{2}]$

Step 3.2.1

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

$M^{2} (\frac{d}{d M} [\frac{C}{2}] + \frac{d}{d M} [- \frac{M}{3}]) + (\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3}) \frac{d}{d M} [M^{2}]$

Step 3.2.2

Since $\frac{C}{2}$ is constant with respect to $M$ , the derivative of $\frac{C}{2}$ with respect to $M$ is $0$ .

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

Step 3.2.3

Add $0$ and $\frac{d}{d M} [- \frac{M}{3}]$ .

$M^{2} \frac{d}{d M} [- \frac{M}{3}] + (\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3}) \frac{d}{d M} [M^{2}]$

Step 3.2.4

Since $- \frac{1}{3}$ is constant with respect to $M$ , the derivative of $- \frac{M}{3}$ with respect to $M$ is $- \frac{1}{3} \frac{d}{d M} [M]$ .

$M^{2} (- \frac{1}{3} \frac{d}{d M} [M]) + (\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3}) \frac{d}{d M} [M^{2}]$

Step 3.2.5

Combine $M^{2}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ .

$- \frac{M^{2}}{3} \frac{d}{d M} [M] + (\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3}) \frac{d}{d M} [M^{2}]$

Step 3.2.6

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

$- \frac{M^{2}}{3} \cdot 1 + (\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3}) \frac{d}{d M} [M^{2}]$

Step 3.2.7

Multiply $- 1$ by $1$ .

$- \frac{M^{2}}{3} + (\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3}) \frac{d}{d M} [M^{2}]$

Step 3.2.8

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

$- \frac{M^{2}}{3} + (\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3}) (2 M)$

Step 3.2.9

Move $2$ to the left of $\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3}$ .

$- \frac{M^{2}}{3} + 2 \cdot (\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3}) M$

Step 3.3.2

To write $2 M (\frac{C}{2} - \frac{M}{3})$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{3}{3}$ .
