Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Let .
The derivative of is itself.
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
Apply the power rule: goes to
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
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:
x - 1 x - 1
e e
------ - --------
x - 1 2
(x - 1)
/ 2 2 \ -1 + x
|1 - ------ + ---------|*e
| -1 + x 2|
\ (-1 + x) /
--------------------------------
-1 + x
