28. f(x) = x3 + 3x + 2
x2 + 1
For this problem, remember that the derivative of a rational function f(x)/g(x) is g(x)f'(x) - f(x)g'(x)
[g(x)]2
f(x) = x3 + 3x + 2
x2 + 1
f'(x) = (x2 + 1)(3x2 + 3) - (x3 + 3x + 2)(2x)
(x2 + 1)(x2 + 1)
f'(x) = (3x4 + 6x2 + 3) - (2x4 + 6x2 + 4x)
(x2 + 1)(x2 + 1)
f'(x) = x4 - 4x + 3
(x2 + 1)(x2 + ...
