Hi all! I can't understand this question :/ (attached)

I guess part of it is in the way it's presented

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

d/dx (h(x) / x) = (xh'(x) - h(x))/x^2 When x = 2, d/dx (h(x) / x) = (2h'(2) - h(2))/2^2 = (2(-3) - 4)/2 = -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does the long line mean when x=2?

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I just take the quotient rule as per usual and plug in my value of 2 to find the slope/derivative?

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

Yep

Cool, the presentation just threw me XD thanks!
