Differntiate

Solution

Sure, let's differentiate another function. Please provide the function you would like to differentiate, or if you'd like to see another example, I can provide one.

For now, here's another example for practice:

Differentiate g(x)=2x33x+1x2g(x) = \frac{2x^3 - 3x + 1}{x^2}.

To differentiate g(x)g(x), we can use the quotient rule, which states that if g(x)=u(x)v(x)g(x) = \frac{u(x)}{v(x)}, then the derivative g(x)g'(x) is given by:

g(x)=u(x)v(x)u(x)v(x)(v(x))2g'(x) = \frac{u'(x)v(x) - u(x)v'(x)}{(v(x))^2}

Here, let u(x)=2x33x+1u(x) = 2x^3 - 3x + 1 and v(x)=x2v(x) = x^2.

First, we find the derivatives of u(x)u(x) and v(x)v(x):

  1. u(x)=2x33x+1u(x) = 2x^3 - 3x + 1 u(x)=ddx(2x33x+1)=6x23u'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(2x^3 - 3x + 1) = 6x^2 - 3

  2. v(x)=x2v(x) = x^2 v(x)=ddxx2=2xv'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}x^2 = 2x

Now, apply the quotient rule:

g(x)=(6x23)x2(2x33x+1)2x(x2)2g'(x) = \frac{(6x^2 - 3)x^2 - (2x^3 - 3x + 1)2x}{(x^2)^2}

Simplify the numerator:

g(x)=(6x43x2)(4x46x2+2x)x4g'(x) = \frac{(6x^4 - 3x^2) - (4x^4 - 6x^2 + 2x)}{x^4}

Distribute and combine like terms:

g(x)=6x43x24x4+6x22xx4g'(x) = \frac{6x^4 - 3x^2 - 4x^4 + 6x^2 - 2x}{x^4} g(x)=2x4+3x22xx4g'(x) = \frac{2x^4 + 3x^2 - 2x}{x^4}

Separate the terms:

g(x)=2x4x4+3x2x42xx4g'(x) = \frac{2x^4}{x^4} + \frac{3x^2}{x^4} - \frac{2x}{x^4} g(x)=2+3x22x3g'(x) = 2 + \frac{3}{x^2} - \frac{2}{x^3}

Thus, the derivative of g(x)=2x33x+1x2g(x) = \frac{2x^3 - 3x + 1}{x^2} is:

g(x)=2+3x22x3g'(x) = 2 + \frac{3}{x^2} - \frac{2}{x^3}
