Consider the function,
f( x )= 1 ( a x 2 +bx+c )
The quotient rule of derivative to find the derivative of the function is,
d dx ( U V )= ( U V ′ −V U ′ ) V 2
Where U ′ and V ′ are the derivative of their respective functions.
Apply quotient rule of derivative in the given function,
f ′ ( x )= ( a x 2 +bx+c ) d dx ( 1 )−1 d dx ( a x 2 +bx+c ) ( a x 2 +bx+c ) 2 = ( a x 2 +bx+c )0−a d dx x 2 −b d dx x− d dx c ( a x 2 +bx+c ) 2 = 0−2ax−b ( a x 2 +bx+c ) 2 = −( 2ax+b ) ( a x 2 +bx+c )
Thus, the derivative of 1 ( a x 2 +bx+c ) is −( 2ax+b ) ( a x 2 +bx+c ) .
