2 5*x - x + 4 ------------ x - 1
(5*x^2 - x + 4)/(x - 1)
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 -1 + 10*x 5*x - x + 4 --------- - ------------ x - 1 2 (x - 1)
/ 2 \ | 4 - x + 5*x -1 + 10*x| 2*|5 + ------------ - ---------| | 2 -1 + x | \ (-1 + x) / -------------------------------- -1 + x
