Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
The derivative of is itself.
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:
x x e e ----- - -------- 1 + x 2 (1 + x)
/ 2 2 \ x |1 - ----- + --------|*e | 1 + x 2| \ (1 + x) / ------------------------- 1 + x
/ 6 3 6 \ x |1 - -------- - ----- + --------|*e | 3 1 + x 2| \ (1 + x) (1 + x) / ------------------------------------ 1 + x
