Problem

Find the derivative of the function \$"h"("x") = (4"x"^3 + 2"x" - 1) / ("x"^2)\$.

Step

The given function

\$"h"("x") = (4"x"^3 + 2"x" - 1) / ("x"^2)\$

Step

To find the derivative of h(x)

\$"d"/"dx" "h"("x") = "d"/"dx" ((4"x"^3 + 2"x" - 1) / ("x"^2) ) \$

Formula:

The quotient rule states that if we have a function of the form \$"f"("x") = ("g"("x")) / ("h"("x"))\$, then the derivative f'(x) is given by:

\$ "f"'("x") = ("g"'("x") times "h"("x") - "g"("x") times "h"'("x"))/("h"("x"))^2 \$

Step

Now apply the quotient rule and differentiate the expression

\$"d"/"dx" "h"("x") = ("d"/"dx" (4"x"^3 + 2"x" - 1) ("x"^2) - (4"x"^3 + 2"x" - 1) "d"/"dx" ("x"^2))/("x"^2)^2 \$

\$"h"'("x") = (("d"/"dx" 4"x"^3 + "d"/"dx" 2"x" - "d"/"dx" 1) ("x"^2) - (4"x"^3 + 2"x" - 1) (2"x"))/("x"^4) \$

Step

After performing differentiation, simplify the resulting expression

\$ "h"'("x") = ((12"x"^2 + 2) ("x"^2) - (4"x"^3 + 2"x" - 1) (2"x"))/("x"^4) \$

\$"h"'("x") = (- 4"x"^4 - 2"x"^2 + 2"x")/("x"^4) \$

Step

The derivative of the function is

\$"h"'("x") = (- 4"x"^4 - 2"x"^2 + 2"x")/("x"^4) \$

Choice.A

This is wrong because it does not align with the accurate antiderivative for the provided function

\$ (8"x"^4 - 2"x"^3 + 4"x"^2 - "x") / "x"^4 \$

Choice.B

It seems that the accurate derivative for the provided function has been identified

\$ (-4"x"^4 - 2"x"^2 + 2"x") / "x"^4 \$

Choice.C

This option is incorrect as it diverges from the precise antiderivative corresponding to the given function

\$ 4 - 2/("x"^2)\$

Choice.D

This is wrong because it does not align with the accurate antiderivative for the provided function

\$ (4"x"^3 - "x"^2 + 2"x") / "x"^3 \$
