Since we know that:



We can take the derivitive of each term of your function and just add them. First thing to do is put your functions in terms of fractional exponents using the rules:



and






Now take the derivitive using the Power Rule:




Look at the next term:





And then the last term:





Then put it all back together:



However, I would rationalize all the denominators:
