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 2*x - 9
----- - --------
x - 5 2
(x - 5)
/ -9 + 2*x\
2*|-2 + --------|
\ -5 + x /
-----------------
2
(-5 + x)
/ -9 + 2*x\
6*|2 - --------|
\ -5 + x /
----------------
3
(-5 + x)
