Using the derivative rules we find that the answer is
Explanation:
Derivative rules we need to use here are:
a. Power rule
b. Constant Rule
c. Sum and difference rule
d. Quotient rule
- Label and derive the numerator and denominator
#f(x)=2x^4-3x#
#g(x)=4x-1#
By applying the Power rule, constant rule, and sum and difference rules, we can derive both of these functions easily:
at this point we will use the Quotient rule which is:
Plug in your items:
From here you can simplify it to:
Thus the derivitive is the simplified answer.
