Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
Apply the power rule: goes to
The result is:
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:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The answer is:
1 2*(x - 1) ------- - ---------- 2*x - 3 2 (2*x - 3)
/ 2*(-1 + x)\ 4*|-1 + ----------| \ -3 + 2*x / ------------------- 2 (-3 + 2*x)
