$\frac{4 e^{w}}{9 w}$

Step 1

Since $\frac{4}{9}$ is constant with respect to $w$ , the derivative of $\frac{4 e^{w}}{9 w}$ with respect to $w$ is $\frac{4}{9} \frac{d}{d w} [\frac{e^{w}}{w}]$ .

$\frac{4}{9} \frac{d}{d w} [\frac{e^{w}}{w}]$

Step 2

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

$\frac{4}{9} \cdot \frac{w \frac{d}{d w} [e^{w}] - e^{w} \frac{d}{d w} [w]}{w^{2}}$

Step 3

Differentiate using the Exponential Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d w} [a^{w}]$ is $a^{w} \ln (a)$ where $a$ = $e$ .

$\frac{4}{9} \cdot \frac{w e^{w} - e^{w} \frac{d}{d w} [w]}{w^{2}}$
