Differentiate. G(x)= (6-(1/x)) / (x-2)

We'll note G(x) = y


dy/dx =
d/dx {[6-(1/x)] / (x-2)}


dy/dx = d/dx [6/(x-2)] - d/dx
[1/x(x-2)]


d/dx [6/(x-2)] = [(x-2)*d/dx(6) -
6*d/dx(x-2)]/(x-2)^2


d/dx [6/(x-2)] = [0*(x-2) -
6*1]/(x-2)^2


d/dx [6/(x-2)] = - 6/(x-2)^2
(1)



d/dx [1/x(x-2)] = d/dx
[1/(x^2-2x)]


d/dx [1/(x^2-2x)] = [(x^2-2x)*d/dx(1) -
1*d/dx(x^2-2x)]/x^2*(x-2)^2


d/dx [1/(x^2-2x)] =
-(2x-2)/x^2*(x-2)^2 (2)


dy/dx = (1) -
(2)


dy/dx = - 6/(x-2)^2 +
(2x-2)/x^2*(x-2)^2


dy/dx = (2x - 2 -
6x^2)/x^2*(x-2)^2


dG/dx =
2(x-1-3x^2)/x^2*(x-2)^2

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
