Here are the derivatives for each function:

1. y=ex2x3+1y = \frac{e^{x^2}}{x^3 + 1}

  1. Identify uu and vv for the quotient rule ddx(uv)=u′v−uv′v2\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{u}{v}\right) = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2}.

    Let u=ex2u = e^{x^2} and v=x3+1v = x^3 + 1.

  2. Find the derivatives of uu and vv.

    Using the chain rule for uu: u′=ex2⋅ddx(x2)=ex2⋅(2x)=2xex2u' = e^{x^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2) = e^{x^2} \cdot (2x) = 2xe^{x^2}.
    For vv: v′=3x2v' = 3x^2.

  3. Apply the quotient rule.

    dydx=(2xex2)(x3+1)−(ex2)(3x2)(x3+1)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(2xe^{x^2})(x^3 + 1) - (e^{x^2})(3x^2)}{(x^3 + 1)^2}
  4. Simplify the expression.

    dydx=ex2(2x(x3+1)−3x2)(x3+1)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{e^{x^2}(2x(x^3 + 1) - 3x^2)}{(x^3 + 1)^2} dydx=ex2(2x4+2x−3x2)(x3+1)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{e^{x^2}(2x^4 + 2x - 3x^2)}{(x^3 + 1)^2} dydx=ex2(2x4−3x2+2x)(x3+1)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \boxed{\frac{e^{x^2}(2x^4 - 3x^2 + 2x)}{(x^3 + 1)^2}}

    3. y=4x+1x2−5y = \frac{\sqrt{4x + 1}}{x^2 - 5}

  5. Identify uu and vv for the quotient rule.

    Let u=4x+1=(4x+1)1/2u = \sqrt{4x + 1} = (4x + 1)^{1/2} and v=x2−5v = x^2 - 5.

  6. Find the derivatives of uu and vv.

    Using the chain rule for uu: u′=12(4x+1)−1/2⋅ddx(4x+1)=12(4x+1)−1/2⋅4=2(4x+1)−1/2=24x+1u' = \frac{1}{2}(4x + 1)^{-1/2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(4x + 1) = \frac{1}{2}(4x + 1)^{-1/2} \cdot 4 = 2(4x + 1)^{-1/2} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{4x + 1}}.
    For vv: v′=2xv' = 2x.

  7. Apply the quotient rule.

    dydx=(24x+1)(x2−5)−(4x+1)(2x)(x2−5)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{4x + 1}}\right)(x^2 - 5) - (\sqrt{4x + 1})(2x)}{(x^2 - 5)^2}
  8. Simplify the expression.

    Multiply the numerator by 4x+1\sqrt{4x+1} to clear the fraction in the numerator.

    dydx=2(x2−5)4x+1−2x4x+1(x2−5)2⋅4x+14x+1\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{2(x^2 - 5)}{\sqrt{4x + 1}} - 2x\sqrt{4x + 1}}{(x^2 - 5)^2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{4x + 1}}{\sqrt{4x + 1}} dydx=2(x2−5)−2x(4x+1)(x2−5)24x+1\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(x^2 - 5) - 2x(4x + 1)}{(x^2 - 5)^2 \sqrt{4x + 1}} dydx=2x2−10−8x2−2x(x2−5)24x+1\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x^2 - 10 - 8x^2 - 2x}{(x^2 - 5)^2 \sqrt{4x + 1}} dydx=−6x2−2x−10(x2−5)24x+1\frac{dy}{dx} = \boxed{\frac{-6x^2 - 2x - 10}{(x^2 - 5)^2 \sqrt{4x + 1}}}

    5. f(x)=cos⁡(x2)xf(x) = \frac{\cos(x^2)}{x}

  9. Identify uu and vv for the quotient rule.

    Let u=cos⁡(x2)u = \cos(x^2) and v=xv = x.

  10. Find the derivatives of uu and vv.

    Using the chain rule for uu: u′=−sin⁡(x2)⋅ddx(x2)=−sin⁡(x2)⋅(2x)=−2xsin⁡(x2)u' = -\sin(x^2) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2) = -\sin(x^2) \cdot (2x) = -2x\sin(x^2).
    For vv: v′=1v' = 1.

  11. Apply the quotient rule.

    f′(x)=(−2xsin⁡(x2))(x)−(cos⁡(x2))(1)x2f'(x) = \frac{(-2x\sin(x^2))(x) - (\cos(x^2))(1)}{x^2}
  12. Simplify the expression.

    f′(x)=−2x2sin⁡(x2)−cos⁡(x2)x2f'(x) = \frac{-2x^2\sin(x^2) - \cos(x^2)}{x^2} f′(x)=−2x2sin⁡(x2)+cos⁡(x2)x2f'(x) = \boxed{-\frac{2x^2\sin(x^2) + \cos(x^2)}{x^2}}

    7. y=(x+1)2(x−1)2y = \frac{(x+1)^2}{(x-1)^2}

  13. Identify uu and vv for the quotient rule.

    Let u=(x+1)2u = (x+1)^2 and v=(x−1)2v = (x-1)^2.

  14. Find the derivatives of uu and vv.

    Using the chain rule for uu: u′=2(x+1)⋅ddx(x+1)=2(x+1)⋅1=2(x+1)u' = 2(x+1) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x+1) = 2(x+1) \cdot 1 = 2(x+1).
    Using the chain rule for vv: v′=2(x−1)⋅ddx(x−1)=2(x−1)⋅1=2(x−1)v' = 2(x-1) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x-1) = 2(x-1) \cdot 1 = 2(x-1).

  15. Apply the quotient rule.

    dydx=(2(x+1))(x−1)2−((x+1)2)(2(x−1))((x−1)2)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(2(x+1))(x-1)^2 - ((x+1)^2)(2(x-1))}{((x-1)^2)^2} dydx=2(x+1)(x−1)2−2(x+1)2(x−1)(x−1)4\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(x+1)(x-1)^2 - 2(x+1)^2(x-1)}{(x-1)^4}
  16. Factor out common terms from the numerator.

    dydx=2(x+1)(x−1)[(x−1)−(x+1)](x−1)4\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(x+1)(x-1)[(x-1) - (x+1)]}{(x-1)^4} dydx=2(x+1)(x−1)[x−1−x−1](x−1)4\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(x+1)(x-1)[x-1-x-1]}{(x-1)^4} dydx=2(x+1)(x−1)(−2)(x−1)4\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(x+1)(x-1)(-2)}{(x-1)^4} dydx=−4(x+1)(x−1)(x−1)4\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-4(x+1)(x-1)}{(x-1)^4}
  17. Simplify by canceling (x−1)(x-1).

    dydx=−4(x+1)(x−1)3\frac{dy}{dx} = \boxed{\frac{-4(x+1)}{(x-1)^3}}

    9. y=1+sin⁡x1+cos⁡xy = \frac{1 + \sin x}{1 + \cos x}

  18. Identify uu and vv for the quotient rule.

    Let u=1+sin⁡xu = 1 + \sin x and v=1+cos⁡xv = 1 + \cos x.

  19. Find the derivatives of uu and vv.

    For uu: u′=cos⁡xu' = \cos x.
    For vv: v′=−sin⁡xv' = -\sin x.

  20. Apply the quotient rule.

    dydx=(cos⁡x)(1+cos⁡x)−(1+sin⁡x)(−sin⁡x)(1+cos⁡x)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(\cos x)(1 + \cos x) - (1 + \sin x)(-\sin x)}{(1 + \cos x)^2}
  21. Expand and simplify the numerator.

    dydx=cos⁡x+cos⁡2x−(−sin⁡x−sin⁡2x)(1+cos⁡x)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos x + \cos^2 x - (-\sin x - \sin^2 x)}{(1 + \cos x)^2} dydx=cos⁡x+cos⁡2x+sin⁡x+sin⁡2x(1+cos⁡x)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos x + \cos^2 x + \sin x + \sin^2 x}{(1 + \cos x)^2}

    Recall the identity sin⁡2x+cos⁡2x=1\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1.

    dydx=cos⁡x+sin⁡x+1(1+cos⁡x)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos x + \sin x + 1}{(1 + \cos x)^2} dydx=1+sin⁡x+cos⁡x(1+cos⁡x)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \boxed{\frac{1 + \sin x + \cos x}{(1 + \cos x)^2}}
