x h

x − r

3 3
x h d x
Since h is constant with respect to x, the derivative of with respect to x is h [ ] .
x − r dx x − r

d x
h [ ]
dx x − r

d f (x)
Differentiate using the Quotient Rule which states that [ ] is
dx g (x)
d d
g (x) [f (x)] − f (x) [g (x)]
where f (x) and g (x) .
dx dx 3
= x = x − r

h
2
(x − r)

Move 3 to the left of x − r.

2 3 d
3 ⋅ (x − r) x − x [x − r]
