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)
/ 2*(-1 + x)\
24*|1 - ----------|
\ 3 + 2*x /
-------------------
3
(3 + 2*x)
