Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Apply the power rule: goes to
To find :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
Apply the power rule: goes to
The result is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
3 2
x 3*x
- -------- + -----
2 x + 1
(x + 1)
/ 2 \
| x 3*x |
2*x*|3 + -------- - -----|
| 2 1 + x|
\ (1 + x) /
--------------------------
1 + x
/ 3 2 \
| x 3*x 3*x |
6*|1 - -------- - ----- + --------|
| 3 1 + x 2|
\ (1 + x) (1 + x) /
-----------------------------------
1 + x
