(x - 1)/(2*x - 3)
Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      2. Apply the power rule: goes to

      The result is:

    To find :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant 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: goes to

        So, the result is:

      The result is:

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:


The answer is:

The first derivative [src]
   1      2*(x - 1) 
------- - ----------
2*x - 3            2
          (2*x - 3) 
$$- \frac{2 \left(x - 1\right)}{\left(2 x - 3\right)^{2}} + \frac{1}{2 x - 3}$$
The second derivative [src]
  /     2*(-1 + x)\
4*|-1 + ----------|
  \      -3 + 2*x /
-------------------
              2    
    (-3 + 2*x)     
$$\frac{4 \left(\frac{2 \left(x - 1\right)}{2 x - 3} - 1\right)}{\left(2 x - 3\right)^{2}}$$
The third derivative [src]
   /    2*(-1 + x)\
24*|1 - ----------|
   \     -3 + 2*x /
-------------------
              3    
    (-3 + 2*x)     
$$\frac{24 \left(- \frac{2 \left(x - 1\right)}{2 x - 3} + 1\right)}{\left(2 x - 3\right)^{3}}$$
