We need to find the first derivative of f(x). This will require us to apply both the Product and Chain Rules. When we apply the Product Rule, we obtain:
In order to find the derivative of 
, we will need to employ the Chain Rule.
We can factor out a 2x to make this a little nicer to look at.
Now we must evaluate the derivative when x = 
.
The answer is
