Differentiate the function G(s)=5s^2/(7e^s+s)

To differentiate the function \( G(s) = \frac{5s^2}{7e^s + s} \), we will apply the **quotient rule** for differentiation, which is given by:

\[
\left( \frac{f(s)}{g(s)} \right)' = \frac{f'(s)g(s) - f(s)g'(s)}{g(s)^2}
\]

Here, we identify:
- \( f(s) = 5s^2 \)
- \( g(s) = 7e^s + s \)

### Step 1: Differentiate \( f(s) = 5s^2 \)
\[
f'(s) = 10s
\]

### Step 2: Differentiate \( g(s) = 7e^s + s \)
\[
g'(s) = 7e^s + 1
\]

### Step 3: Apply the quotient rule
\[
G'(s) = \frac{(10s)(7e^s + s) - (5s^2)(7e^s + 1)}{(7e^s + s)^2}
\]

Now, let's simplify the numerator:

1. Expand the first term: \( (10s)(7e^s + s) = 70se^s + 10s^2 \)
2. Expand the second term: \( (5s^2)(7e^s + 1) = 35s^2 e^s + 5s^2 \)

So the numerator becomes:
\[
70se^s + 10s^2 - 35s^2 e^s - 5s^2
\]

Now simplify the numerator:
\[
(70se^s - 35s^2 e^s) + (10s^2 - 5s^2) = 35se^s(2 - s) + 5s^2
\]

Thus, the derivative is:
\[
G'(s) = \frac{35se^s(2 - s) + 5s^2}{(7e^s + s)^2}
\]

This is the derivative of the given function \( G(s) \).
