Solve 10/x-3-3

$$\frac { 10 } { x - 3 } - 3$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{19-3x}{x-3}$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 3 times \frac{x-3}{x-3}.

$$\frac{10}{x-3}-\frac{3\left(x-3\right)}{x-3}$$

Since \frac{10}{x-3} and \frac{3\left(x-3\right)}{x-3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{10-3\left(x-3\right)}{x-3}$$

Do the multiplications in 10-3\left(x-3\right).

$$\frac{10-3x+9}{x-3}$$

Combine like terms in 10-3x+9.

$$\frac{19-3x}{x-3}$$

Differentiate w.r.t. x

$$-\frac{10}{\left(x-3\right)^{2}}$$

Steps Using Derivative Rule for Quotient

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 3 times \frac{x-3}{x-3}.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(\frac{10}{x-3}-\frac{3\left(x-3\right)}{x-3})$$

Since \frac{10}{x-3} and \frac{3\left(x-3\right)}{x-3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(\frac{10-3\left(x-3\right)}{x-3})$$

Do the multiplications in 10-3\left(x-3\right).

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(\frac{10-3x+9}{x-3})$$

Combine like terms in 10-3x+9.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(\frac{19-3x}{x-3})$$

For any two differentiable functions, the derivative of the quotient of two functions is the denominator times the derivative of the numerator minus the numerator times the derivative of the denominator, all divided by the denominator squared.

$$\frac{\left(x^{1}-3\right)\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(-3x^{1}+19)-\left(-3x^{1}+19\right)\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(x^{1}-3)}{\left(x^{1}-3\right)^{2}}$$

The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is 0. The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.

$$\frac{\left(x^{1}-3\right)\left(-3\right)x^{1-1}-\left(-3x^{1}+19\right)x^{1-1}}{\left(x^{1}-3\right)^{2}}$$

Do the arithmetic.

$$\frac{\left(x^{1}-3\right)\left(-3\right)x^{0}-\left(-3x^{1}+19\right)x^{0}}{\left(x^{1}-3\right)^{2}}$$

Expand using distributive property.

$$\frac{x^{1}\left(-3\right)x^{0}-3\left(-3\right)x^{0}-\left(-3x^{1}x^{0}+19x^{0}\right)}{\left(x^{1}-3\right)^{2}}$$

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents.

$$\frac{-3x^{1}-3\left(-3\right)x^{0}-\left(-3x^{1}+19x^{0}\right)}{\left(x^{1}-3\right)^{2}}$$

Do the arithmetic.

$$\frac{-3x^{1}+9x^{0}-\left(-3x^{1}+19x^{0}\right)}{\left(x^{1}-3\right)^{2}}$$

Remove unnecessary parentheses.

$$\frac{-3x^{1}+9x^{0}-\left(-3x^{1}\right)-19x^{0}}{\left(x^{1}-3\right)^{2}}$$

Combine like terms.

$$\frac{\left(-3-\left(-3\right)\right)x^{1}+\left(9-19\right)x^{0}}{\left(x^{1}-3\right)^{2}}$$

Subtract -3 from -3 and 19 from 9.

$$\frac{-10x^{0}}{\left(x^{1}-3\right)^{2}}$$

For any term t, t^{1}=t.

$$\frac{-10x^{0}}{\left(x-3\right)^{2}}$$

For any term t except 0, t^{0}=1.

$$\frac{-10}{\left(x-3\right)^{2}}$$
