Answer

$\frac{\lambda_0 + 6\lambda^5}{2-\lambda_0}$

Work Step by Step

$\lambda_0$ is a constant by assumption, so the entire denominator is a constant. \begin{align} \frac{d}{d\lambda} \bigg[ \frac{\lambda \lambda_0 + \lambda^6}{2 - \lambda_0}\bigg] \\ & = \frac{d}{d\lambda}\bigg[\frac{\lambda_0}{2-\lambda_0} \lambda + \frac{1}{2-\lambda_0} \lambda^6\bigg] \\ &= \frac{\lambda_0}{2-\lambda_0} + \frac{6}{2-\lambda_0} \lambda^5 \\ &= \frac{\lambda_0 + 6\lambda^5}{2-\lambda_0} \\ \end{align}
