Example Question #271 : Functions

Find the derivative of the function

Possible Answers:

None of these answers are correct.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the derivative of this function, we must use the Product Rule, Quotient Rule, and the Chain Rule. To do this, we first find the derivative of each part.

Using the derivatives of each part we can find the derivative of the numerator using the Product Rule

Finally, putting this into the Quotient Rule gives
