x + 3 ----- x - 3
d /x + 3\ --|-----| dx\x - 3/
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:

The result is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The answer is:
1 x + 3
----- - --------
