I apologize for the poor handwriting, I am still adjusting to the "stickiness" of the whiteboard utility on wyzant. Hopefully the video helps answer any questions you had including the answer to the derivative. The most important part of solving a derivative like this one is recognizing that the whole thing together looks intimidating but once it is broken down into bite size pieces it becomes more manageable.
