${(\frac{t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7})}^{2}$

Step 1

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d t} [f (g (t))]$ is $f' (g (t)) g' (t)$ where $f (t) = t^{2}$ and $g (t) = \frac{t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7}$ .

Step 1.1

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u$ as $\frac{t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7}$ .

$\frac{d}{d u} [u^{2}] \frac{d}{d t} [\frac{t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7}]$

Step 1.2

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

$2 u \frac{d}{d t} [\frac{t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7}]$

Step 1.3

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $\frac{t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7}$ .

$2 \frac{t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7} \frac{d}{d t} [\frac{t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7}]$

Step 2

Combine $2$ and $\frac{t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7}$ .

$\frac{2 t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7} \frac{d}{d t} [\frac{t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7}]$

Step 3

Differentiate using the Quotient Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d t} [\frac{f (t)}{g (t)}]$ is $\frac{g (t) \frac{d}{d t} [f (t)] - f (t) \frac{d}{d t} [g (t)]}{{g (t)}^{2}}$ where $f (t) = t^{3}$ and $g (t) = t^{8} + 7$ .

$\frac{2 t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7} \cdot \frac{(t^{8} + 7) \frac{d}{d t} [t^{3}] - t^{3} \frac{d}{d t} [t^{8} + 7]}{{(t^{8} + 7)}^{2}}$

Step 4.3

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $t^{8} + 7$ with respect to $t$ is $\frac{d}{d t} [t^{8}] + \frac{d}{d t} [7]$ .

$\frac{2 t^{3}}{t^{8} + 7} \cdot \frac{3 (t^{8} + 7) t^{2} - t^{3} (\frac{d}{d t} [t^{8}] + \frac{d}{d t} [7])}{{(t^{8} + 7)}^{2}}$
