Answer

\[{p^,} = \frac{{8,000{e^{ - 0.2t}}}}{{\,{{\left( {9 + 4{e^{ - 0.2t}}} \right)}^2}}}\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{gathered} p = \frac{{10,000}}{{9 + 4{e^{ - 0.2t}}}} \hfill \\ Find\,\,the\,\,derivative \hfill \\ {p^,} = \frac{d}{{dt}}\,\,\left[ {\frac{{10,000}}{{9 + 4{e^{ - 0.2t}}}}} \right] \hfill \\ Use\,\,the\,\,quotient\,\,rule \hfill \\ {p^,} = \frac{{\,\left( {9 + 4{e^{ - 0.2t}}} \right)\,{{\left( {10,000} \right)}^,} - 10,000\,{{\left( {9 + 4{e^{ - 0.2t}}} \right)}^,}}}{{\,{{\left( {9 + 4{e^{ - 0.2t}}} \right)}^2}}} \hfill \\ Then \hfill \\ {p^,} = \frac{{\,\left( {9 + 4{e^{ - 0.2t}}} \right)\,\left( 0 \right) - 10,000\,\left( {4{e^{ - 0.2t}}} \right)\,\left( { - 0.2} \right)}}{{\,{{\left( {9 + 4{e^{ - 0.2t}}} \right)}^2}}} \hfill \\ Multiply \hfill \\ {p^,} = \frac{{8,000{e^{ - 0.2t}}}}{{\,{{\left( {9 + 4{e^{ - 0.2t}}} \right)}^2}}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
