00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.224
Here is the problem: d by d x((2x minus 1)/(x plus 3)).

2
00:00:05.675 --> 00:00:11.062
Find the derivative of ((2 x minus 1) / (x plus 3)) with respect to x.

3
00:00:11.862 --> 00:00:18.584
Quotient rule: (u/v) prime equals (u prime v minus uv prime )/v squared.

4
00:00:19.034 --> 00:00:22.320
Sum rule: differentiate each term separately.

5
00:00:22.770 --> 00:00:26.253
Difference rule: differentiate each term separately.

6
00:00:26.703 --> 00:00:28.282
Constant multiple rule.

7
00:00:29.082 --> 00:00:30.649
Combine and simplify.

8
00:00:31.449 --> 00:00:39.599
So the answer is f prime of x equals ((1 minus 2x) / (x plus 3) plus 2) / (x plus 3).

9
00:00:40.049 --> 00:00:53.064
The derivative is built from the outside in: sums split into terms, constants factor out, products and quotients use their rules, and every composite function multiplies by the derivative of its inside (chain rule).

00:00:53.864 --> 00:01:00.470
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
