Multiple Choice

Find the derivative of the function.
- $$p = \left( \frac { q ^ { 6 } + 4 } { 2 q } \right) \left( \frac { q ^ { 8 } + 6 } { q } \right)$$

• A) \(\frac { d p } { d q } = \frac { 1 } { 2 } q ^ { 11 } + 2 q ^ { 5 } + 3 q ^ { 3 } + \frac { 24 } { q ^ { 3 } }\)
• B) \(\frac { d p } { d q } = 6 q ^ { 11 } - \frac { 24 } { q ^ { 3 } }\)
• C) \(\frac { d p } { d q } = 8 q ^ { 15 } + 20 q ^ { 9 } + 24 q ^ { 7 } - \frac { 24 } { q ^ { 3 } }\)
• D) \(\frac { d p } { d q } = 6 q ^ { 11 } + 12 q ^ { 5 } + 12 q ^ { 3 } - \frac { 24 } { q ^ { 3 } }\)
