$(1 - t) {(9 + t^{2})}^{- 1}$

Step 1

Differentiate using the Product Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d t} [f (t) g (t)]$ is $f (t) \frac{d}{d t} [g (t)] + g (t) \frac{d}{d t} [f (t)]$ where $f (t) = 1 - t$ and $g (t) = {(9 + t^{2})}^{- 1}$ .

$(1 - t) \frac{d}{d t} [{(9 + t^{2})}^{- 1}] + {(9 + t^{2})}^{- 1} \frac{d}{d t} [1 - t]$

Step 2

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d t} [f (g (t))]$ is $f' (g (t)) g' (t)$ where $f (t) = t^{- 1}$ and $g (t) = 9 + t^{2}$ .

Step 2.1

Step 3.1

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $9 + t^{2}$ with respect to $t$ is $\frac{d}{d t} [9] + \frac{d}{d t} [t^{2}]$ .

Step 3.2

Since $9$ is constant with respect to $t$ , the derivative of $9$ with respect to $t$ is $0$ .

$(1 - t) (- {(9 + t^{2})}^{- 2} (0 + \frac{d}{d t} [t^{2}])) + {(9 + t^{2})}^{- 1} \frac{d}{d t} [1 - t]$

Step 3.7

Since $1$ is constant with respect to $t$ , the derivative of $1$ with respect to $t$ is $0$ .

$(1 - t) (- 2 {(9 + t^{2})}^{- 2} t) + {(9 + t^{2})}^{- 1} (0 + \frac{d}{d t} [- t])$

$(1 - t) (- 2 {(9 + t^{2})}^{- 2} t) + {(9 + t^{2})}^{- 1} \frac{d}{d t} [- t]$

Step 3.9

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

$(1 - t) (- 2 {(9 + t^{2})}^{- 2} t) + {(9 + t^{2})}^{- 1} (- \frac{d}{d t} [t])$
