2 / 2 \ \x + 3*x - 5/
(x^2 + 3*x - 5)^2
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
Differentiate term by term:
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:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
/ 2 \ (6 + 4*x)*\x + 3*x - 5/
/ 2 \ 2*\-10 + (3 + 2*x) + 2*x*(3 + x)/
