x + 3
$$\frac{x - 2}{x + 3}$$
(x - 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. Apply the power rule: goes to

      The result is:

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:


The answer is:

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

    (3 + x)    
$$\frac{2 \left(\frac{x - 2}{x + 3} - 1\right)}{\left(x + 3\right)^{2}}$$
The third derivative [src]
  /    -2 + x\
6*|1 - ------|
  \    3 + x /
--------------
          3   
   (3 + x)    
$$\frac{6 \left(- \frac{x - 2}{x + 3} + 1\right)}{\left(x + 3\right)^{3}}$$
