1st 2nd and 3rd derivative of 2x/ 3x-2?? helpp

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

remember the quotient rule here ...let 2x = f and 3x - 2 = g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f'=(3x-2)(2)-(2x)(3) / (3x-2)^2?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

correct....so that would equal the first derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well simplified I believe it's -4 / (3x-2)^2 but how would I go about the second derivative?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

you are correct for the first derivative....also expand the denominator though so -4/9x² - 12x + 4 right?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

for the second derivative...do the SAME thing.... let -4 be f and 9x² - 12x + 4 be g so g * derivative of f - f * derivative of g all over g squared

ok, thank you
