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:

Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The answer is:
4 2*(4*x + 7)
------- - -----------
2*x + 3 2
(2*x + 3)
/ 7 + 4*x\
8*|-2 + -------|
\ 3 + 2*x/
----------------
2
(3 + 2*x)
