Find using quotient rule:
j'(x) = [(-1/4)x+1]/[-2(abs(x-2))+4]
(simpler looking equation in comments)

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$j'(X)=\frac{ \frac{ -1 }{ 4 }x+1 }{ -2\left| x-2 \right|+4 }$$

anonymous · Answer

I know the formula for the quotient rule, it's just the absolute value that's throwing me off

anonymous · Answer

anyone? :/

anonymous · Answer

so would the derivative of the entire denominator simplify to -2x?

anonymous · Answer

ok! i think i got it. It says i got the problem right now at least. thanks for the help!

Hold on. I may have to flip them.

Derivative of |x| is x / |x|
Derivative of |x - 2| = (x - 2) / |x - 2|
