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 3*(x + 2)
------- - ----------
3*x - 4 2
(3*x - 4)
/ 3*(2 + x)\
6*|-1 + ---------|
\ -4 + 3*x/
------------------
2
(-4 + 3*x)
/ 3*(2 + x)\
54*|1 - ---------|
\ -4 + 3*x/
------------------
3
(-4 + 3*x)
