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:
4 4*x + 1 ----- - -------- x + 3 2 (x + 3)
/ 1 + 4*x\ 2*|-4 + -------| \ 3 + x / ---------------- 2 (3 + x)
/ 1 + 4*x\ 6*|4 - -------| \ 3 + x / --------------- 3 (3 + x)
