Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)g2(x)\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}

    f(x)=3x9f{\left(x \right)} = 3 x - 9 and g(x)=(x1)3g{\left(x \right)} = \left(x - 1\right)^{3}.

    To find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Differentiate 3x93 x - 9 term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant 9-9 is zero.

      2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

        1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

        So, the result is: 33

      The result is: 33

    To find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Let u=x1u = x - 1.

    2. Apply the power rule: u3u^{3} goes to 3u23 u^{2}

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x1)\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 1\right):

      1. Differentiate x1x - 1 term by term:

        1. The derivative of the constant 1-1 is zero.

        2. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

        The result is: 11

      The result of the chain rule is:

      3(x1)23 \left(x - 1\right)^{2}

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

    3(x1)33(x1)2(3x9)(x1)6\frac{3 \left(x - 1\right)^{3} - 3 \left(x - 1\right)^{2} \left(3 x - 9\right)}{\left(x - 1\right)^{6}}

  2. Now simplify:

    6(4x)(x1)4\frac{6 \left(4 - x\right)}{\left(x - 1\right)^{4}}


The answer is:

6(4x)(x1)4\frac{6 \left(4 - x\right)}{\left(x - 1\right)^{4}}
