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 + 2 ----- - -------- x - 3 2 (x - 3)
/ 1 + x \ 4*|-1 + ------| \ -3 + x/ --------------- 2 (-3 + x)
/ 1 + x \ 12*|1 - ------| \ -3 + x/ --------------- 3 (-3 + x)
