Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result is:
To find :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
Apply the power rule: goes to
The result is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The answer is:
3 3*x - 2 ----- - -------- x + 1 2 (x + 1)
/ -2 + 3*x\ 2*|-3 + --------| \ 1 + x / ----------------- 2 (1 + x)
