(2-1/x))/(x+3) ....we could use the quotient rule here, but I always tend to forget it, so I prefer to write the denominator as a ( -1 ) power and just use the product / chain rules....so we have
y = (2 - x-1) (x + 3)-1
y ' = x-2(x + 3)-1 - (2 - x-1)(x +3)-2
Which we could simplify as (x+ 3)-2 [ x-2 (x + 3) - 2 + x-1 ] = (x+ 3)-2 [ 2x-1 + 3x-2 - 2 ]
[Note....there are several other acceptable forms ]
y = (2 - x-1) / (x + 3)
Using the quotient formula:
y' = [ (x + 3)(x-2) - (2 - x-1)(1) ] / (x + 3)2
y' = [ x-1 + 3x-2 - 2 + x-1 ] / (x + 3)2
y' = ( 2x-1 + 3x-2 - 2 ) / (x + 3)2
