Find the derivative of the function

The derivative of y in terms of x is denoted by  or .


 For the given problem: , we may apply the basic differentiation property:  .




Apply the basic differentiation property:



For the derivative of , we may apply again the basic derivative property: .



For the derivative part, follow the basic derivative formula for natural logarithm function: .


 Let then .


 Note For the derivative of ,we apply the Quotient Rule: .


Let:


then


then


Then,



                


                 


               


Applying:  on:



                                     


                                     


Cancel common factors 2 and from top and bottom:



Recall then the derivative becomes:




For the derivative of  , we apply basic derivative formula for inverse tangent:




Combining the results, we get:
