Evaluate

$$\frac{v-9}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+9\right)}$$

Short Solution Steps

Factor v^{2}+17v+72. Factor v^{2}+15v+56.

$$\frac{v}{\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)}-\frac{8}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)}$$

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right) and \left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right) is \left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right). Multiply \frac{v}{\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)} times \frac{v+7}{v+7}. Multiply \frac{8}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)} times \frac{v+9}{v+9}.

$$\frac{v\left(v+7\right)}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)}-\frac{8\left(v+9\right)}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)}$$

Since \frac{v\left(v+7\right)}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)} and \frac{8\left(v+9\right)}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{v\left(v+7\right)-8\left(v+9\right)}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)}$$

Do the multiplications in v\left(v+7\right)-8\left(v+9\right).

$$\frac{v^{2}+7v-8v-72}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)}$$

Combine like terms in v^{2}+7v-8v-72.

$$\frac{v^{2}-v-72}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)}$$

Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{v^{2}-v-72}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)}.

$$\frac{\left(v-9\right)\left(v+8\right)}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)}$$

Cancel out v+8 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{v-9}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+9\right)}$$

Expand \left(v+7\right)\left(v+9\right).

$$\frac{v-9}{v^{2}+16v+63}$$

Differentiate w.r.t. v

$$\frac{207+18v-v^{2}}{v^{4}+32v^{3}+382v^{2}+2016v+3969}$$

Multiply \frac{v}{\left(v+8\right)\left(v+9\right)} times \frac{v+7}{v+7}. Multiply \frac{8}{\left(v+7\right)\left(v+8\right)} times \frac{v+9}{v+9}.

Use the distributive property to multiply v+7 by v+9 and combine like terms.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}v}(\frac{v-9}{v^{2}+16v+63})$$

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.
