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