The correct Answer is:
To find the derivative of the function \( g(x) = \frac{3x^2 - 2}{x^2 + 7} \), we will use the quotient rule. The quotient rule states that if you have a function in the form \( \frac{u}{v} \), then the derivative \( g'(x) \) is given by: \[ g'(x) = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2} \] where \( u = 3x^2 - 2 \) and \( v = x^2 + 7 \). ### Step 1: Identify \( u \) and \( v \) - \( u = 3x^2 - 2 \) - \( v = x^2 + 7 \) ### Step 2: Find the derivatives \( u' \) and \( v' \) - To find \( u' \): \[ u' = \frac{d}{dx}(3x^2 - 2) = 6x \] - To find \( v' \): \[ v' = \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + 7) = 2x \] ### Step 3: Apply the quotient rule Now we substitute \( u \), \( u' \), \( v \), and \( v' \) into the quotient rule formula: \[ g'(x) = \frac{(6x)(x^2 + 7) - (3x^2 - 2)(2x)}{(x^2 + 7)^2} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the numerator Now we simplify the numerator: 1. Expand \( (6x)(x^2 + 7) \): \[ 6x^3 + 42x \] 2. Expand \( (3x^2 - 2)(2x) \): \[ 6x^3 - 4x \] 3. Substitute these back into the equation: \[ g'(x) = \frac{(6x^3 + 42x) - (6x^3 - 4x)}{(x^2 + 7)^2} \] 4. Combine like terms: \[ g'(x) = \frac{6x^3 + 42x - 6x^3 + 4x}{(x^2 + 7)^2} \] This simplifies to: \[ g'(x) = \frac{46x}{(x^2 + 7)^2} \] ### Final Result Thus, the derivative of the function \( g(x) \) is: \[ g'(x) = \frac{46x}{(x^2 + 7)^2} \]
