2 4*x + 11*x - 2 --------------- x + 3
(4*x^2 + 11*x - 2)/(x + 3)
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 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:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
2 11 + 8*x 4*x + 11*x - 2 -------- - --------------- x + 3 2 (x + 3)
