2 3*x - 2 -------- x + 2
/ 2 \ d |3*x - 2| --|--------| dx\ x + 2 /
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:
2 3*x - 2 6*x - -------- + ----- 2 x + 2 (x + 2)
/ 2 \ | -2 + 3*x 6*x | 2*|3 + --------- - -----| | 2 2 + x| \ (2 + x) / ------------------------- 2 + x
/ 2 \ | -2 + 3*x 6*x | 6*|-3 - --------- + -----| | 2 2 + x| \ (2 + x) / -------------------------- 2 (2 + x)
