Derivative of (x-3)/x

1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

   $$\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$$

   $f{\left(x \right)} = x - 3$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = x$.

   To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$:

   1. Differentiate $x - 3$ term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant $-3$ is zero.

      2. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

      The result is: $1$

   To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$:

   1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

   Now plug in to the quotient rule:

   $\frac{3}{x^{2}}$

The answer is:

$$\frac{3}{x^{2}}$$
