Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
The derivative of the constant is zero.
To find :
Differentiate term by term:
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 derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the product rule:
; to find :
Apply the power rule: goes to
; to find :
The derivative of is .
The result is:
So, the result is:
The result is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
-1 - 2*log(x) ----------------- 2 (2*x*log(x) - x)
/ 2\ | (1 + 2*log(x)) | -2*|1 - ---------------| \ -1 + 2*log(x) / ------------------------ 3 2 x *(-1 + 2*log(x))
/ 3 \ | 3*(1 + 2*log(x)) 6*(1 + 2*log(x))| 2*|1 - ----------------- + ----------------| | 2 -1 + 2*log(x) | \ (-1 + 2*log(x)) / -------------------------------------------- 4 2 x *(-1 + 2*log(x))
