Math Problem Statement
find the derivative
Solution
To find the derivative of the function
we'll use the quotient rule. The quotient rule states that if you have a function , then the derivative is given by:
Here, and .
First, we find the derivatives and :
Now, applying the quotient rule:
Simplify the numerator and denominator:
Combine the terms:
Finally, simplify if possible:
Thus, the derivative of the function is:
