# (a) If $f(x) = e^x/ (2x^2 + x + 1),$ find $f' (x).$(b) Check to see that your answers to part (a) are reasonable by comparing the graphs of $f, f',$ and $f".$

## (a) $f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{x e^{x}(2 x-3)}{\left(2 x^{2}+x+1\right)^{2}}$(b) See explanation for result

it's clear. So when you raid here, So we're gonna take the derivative and we're gonna apply our quotient role. And we got two x square plus x plus one times e to the X minus. Each of the ex comes for X plus one all over X square, two X square plus X plus one square. This becomes equal to sex each X Times two X minus three All over to X square plus X plus one square For a second part, we're gonna draw a graph. I'll draw our original in black so look like this and then our derivative and red
