Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
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:

Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The answer is:
4 2*(4*x - 5)
------- - -----------
2*x + 1 2
(2*x + 1)
/ -5 + 4*x\
8*|-2 + --------|
\ 1 + 2*x /
-----------------
2
(1 + 2*x)
