We need to use the quotient rule to find the derivative.
The quotient rule states that if y=vu, then dxdy=v2vdxdu−udxdv. In this case, u=4x2+3 and v=x2+1. Now, we find the derivatives of u and v with respect to x: dxdu=dxd(4x2+3)=8x dxdv=dxd(x2+1)=2x Now we apply the quotient rule:
dxdy=(x2+1)2(x2+1)(8x)−(4x2+3)(2x) dxdy=(x2+1)28x3+8x−8x3−6x dxdy=(x2+1)22x
