Identify Function: Identify the function that we need to differentiate.R(x)=ln(2−x23+x)We need to find R′(x), the derivative of R with respect to x.
Apply Chain Rule: Apply the chain rule for differentiation to the natural logarithm function. The derivative of ln(u) with respect to x is u1⋅dxdu, where u is a function of x. In this case, u=2−x23+x.
Differentiate Numerator and Denominator: Differentiate the numerator and the denominator of u separately.The derivative of the numerator, 3+x, with respect to x is 1.The derivative of the denominator, 2−x2, with respect to x is −2x.
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule to differentiate u=2−x23+x.The quotient rule is given by v2v⋅dxdu−u⋅dxdv, where u is the numerator and v is the denominator.
Perform Quotient Rule Calculations: Perform the calculations for the quotient rule.Let u=3+x and v=2−x2.dxdu=1 and dxdv=−2x.Now, apply the quotient rule: v2v⋅dxdu−u⋅dxdv=(2−x2)2(2−x2)⋅1−(3+x)⋅(−2x).
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression obtained from the quotient rule. ((2−x2)⋅1−(3+x)⋅(−2x))/(2−x2)2=(2−x2+2x(3+x))/(2−x2)2.
Expand and Combine Terms: Expand and combine like terms in the numerator. 2−x2+2x(3+x)=2−x2+6x+2x2.Combine like terms: 2+6x+x2.
Write Final Derivative Expression: Write the final expression for the derivative of R(x).R′(x)=(2−x2)22+6x+x2.This is the derivative of the function R(x) with respect to x.
