First expand everything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x^2 + 3x + 2)/(x^2 - 3x +2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finding x values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the quotient rule after expanding it,

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Now you can use the quotient rule http://mathworld.wolfram.com/QuotientRule.html Or rewrite it as \[\left( x ^{2}+3x+2 \right)\left( x ^{2}-3x+2 \right)^{-1}\] and use chain rule http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ChainRule.html

Oh. Quotient rule. Right. ._.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
