need help with derivatives please :)?

1- use product and quotient rule to fid f'(x)

f(x)= [(2x+3)(3x-4)]/(x^2+3)

simplify your answer.

2- use chain rule to find f'(x)

f(x)=(x^2+1/x)^3/2

    1.

    let 2x+3 = a

    3x-4 = b

    x^2+3 =c

    ab/c

    on diff wrt x

    (c ddx ab - ab ddx c)/ c^2

    and ddx of ab is a ddx b + b ddx a

    now put the values of a b c and solve.

    2.

    x^2 + 1/x = a

    diff wrt x

    3/2 a^(3/2-1) * ddx a

    and ddx a is

    ddx x^2 + ddx 1/x = 2x + log x

    then solve after putting value

    "Given f(x)= [(2x+3)(3x-4)]/(x^2+3)

    =>f'(x)=[(d/dx(2x+3)(3x-4))*(x^2+3)-(d/dx(x^2+3))*(2x+3)(3x-4)]/(x^2+3)^2

    =>f'(x)=[(12x+1)(x^2+3)-(2x)(2x+3)(3x-4)]/(x^2+3)^2

    =>f'(x)=[3-(x-60)x]/(x^2+3)^2

    Given f(x)=(x^2+1/x)^3/2

    =>f'(x)=3/2(x^2+1/x)^(3/2-1)*2x*d/dx(1/x)

    =>f'(x)=3/2√(x^2+1/x) (2x-1/x^2)"
