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:
3 2
2*x + 1 6*x
- -------- + -----
2 x - 4
(x - 4)
/ 3 2 \
| 1 + 2*x 6*x |
2*|6*x + --------- - ------|
| 2 -4 + x|
\ (-4 + x) /
----------------------------
-4 + x
/ 3 2 \
| 1 + 2*x 6*x 6*x |
6*|2 - --------- - ------ + ---------|
| 3 -4 + x 2|
\ (-4 + x) (-4 + x) /
--------------------------------------
-4 + x
