$\frac{5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}}{x}$

Step 1

Differentiate using the Quotient Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{f (x)}{g (x)}]$ is $\frac{g (x) \frac{d}{d x} [f (x)] - f (x) \frac{d}{d x} [g (x)]}{{g (x)}^{2}}$ where $f (x) = 5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}$ and $g (x) = x$ .

$\frac{x \frac{d}{d x} [5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}] - (5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}) \frac{d}{d x} [x]}{x^{2}}$

Step 2.1

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{d}{d x} [5] + \frac{d}{d x} [6 x] + \frac{d}{d x} [- 5 x^{2}]$ .

$\frac{x (\frac{d}{d x} [5] + \frac{d}{d x} [6 x] + \frac{d}{d x} [- 5 x^{2}]) - (5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}) \frac{d}{d x} [x]}{x^{2}}$

Step 2.2

Since $5$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $5$ with respect to $x$ is $0$ .

$\frac{x (0 + \frac{d}{d x} [6 x] + \frac{d}{d x} [- 5 x^{2}]) - (5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}) \frac{d}{d x} [x]}{x^{2}}$

Step 2.3

Add $0$ and $\frac{d}{d x} [6 x]$ .

$\frac{x (\frac{d}{d x} [6 x] + \frac{d}{d x} [- 5 x^{2}]) - (5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}) \frac{d}{d x} [x]}{x^{2}}$

Step 2.4

Since $6$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $6 x$ with respect to $x$ is $6 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$ .

$\frac{x (6 \frac{d}{d x} [x] + \frac{d}{d x} [- 5 x^{2}]) - (5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}) \frac{d}{d x} [x]}{x^{2}}$

Step 2.5

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$\frac{x (6 \cdot 1 + \frac{d}{d x} [- 5 x^{2}]) - (5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}) \frac{d}{d x} [x]}{x^{2}}$

Step 2.6

Multiply $6$ by $1$ .

$\frac{x (6 + \frac{d}{d x} [- 5 x^{2}]) - (5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}) \frac{d}{d x} [x]}{x^{2}}$

Step 2.7

Since $- 5$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $- 5 x^{2}$ with respect to $x$ is $- 5 \frac{d}{d x} [x^{2}]$ .

$\frac{x (6 - 5 \frac{d}{d x} [x^{2}]) - (5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}) \frac{d}{d x} [x]}{x^{2}}$

Step 2.8

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 2$ .

$\frac{x (6 - 5 (2 x)) - (5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}) \frac{d}{d x} [x]}{x^{2}}$

Step 2.9

Multiply $2$ by $- 5$ .

$\frac{x (6 - 10 x) - (5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}) \frac{d}{d x} [x]}{x^{2}}$

Step 2.10

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$\frac{x (6 - 10 x) - (5 + 6 x - 5 x^{2}) \cdot 1}{x^{2}}$
