Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
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:
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:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The answer is:
3 6*x
------- - ----------
2*x - 1 2
(2*x - 1)
/ 2*x \
12*|-1 + --------|
\ -1 + 2*x/
------------------
