2 x - 3*x + 3 ------------ 2 (x - 2)
(x^2 - 3*x + 3)/(x - 2)^2
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 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:
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.
Apply the power rule: goes to
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
