2 / 3 \ \x + 3*x/ ----------- 3*x - 5
(x^3 + 3*x)^2/(3*x - 5)
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
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 result of the chain rule is:
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:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
