How do you find the derivative for #f(x) = (3 + 4x) /( 1 + x^2)#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Quotient Rule 1 Answer Guilherme N. Jan 6, 2016 Quotient rule states that #(a/b)'=(a'b-ab')/b^2# Explanation: #(df(x))/(dx)=(4(1+x^2)-(3+4x)(2x))/(1+x^2)^2# #(df(x))/(dx)=(4+4x^2-6x-8x^2)/(1+x^2)^2# #(df(x))/(dx)=(-4x^2-6x+4)/(1+x^2)^2# Answer link Related questions What is the Quotient Rule for derivatives?
