2*x - 1 -------- 2 (x - 1)
(2*x - 1)/(x - 1)^2
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 :
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
Apply the power rule: goes to
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
2 (2 - 2*x)*(2*x - 1) -------- + ------------------- 2 4 (x - 1) (x - 1)
/ 3*(-1 + 2*x)\ 2*|-4 + ------------| \ -1 + x / --------------------- 3 (-1 + x)
/ 2*(-1 + 2*x)\ 12*|3 - ------------| \ -1 + x / --------------------- 4 (-1 + x)
