Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Apply the power rule: goes to
To find :
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
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:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
3 x 2*x ----------- + ----------- 3/2 ________ / 2\ / 2 \1 - x / \/ 1 - x
/ 2 \ 2 | 3*x | x *|-1 + -------| 2 | 2| 4*x \ -1 + x / 2 + ------ - ----------------- 2 2 1 - x 1 - x ------------------------------ ________ / 2 \/ 1 - x
