BananaPancakes is right. I took that same course you are in 6 years ago and the main understanding you need to have is the chain rule in order to solve problems like this. As was mentioned, work from outside in and take the derivative of each term and multiply it. The first portion (3 lines) BananaPancakes explains does this and he has the correct methodology.
