A function is defined as f(x) = x / sqrt(2x-2). Use the quotient rule to show that f'(x) = (x-2)/(2x-2)^(3/2)

u = x v = (2x-2)^(0.5)u' = 1 v' = (2x-2)^(-0.5)f'(x) = (vu' - uv') / v^2Therefore, f'(x) = (((2x-2)^(0.5) * 1) - (x * (2x-2)^(-0.5))) / ((2x-2)^(0.5))^2f'(x) = (2x - 2 - x) / (2x-2)^(3/2) = (x-2) / (2x-2)...
