Calculus quotient rule problem

[jbunniii]

here is my new answer i am steaming -3x-10 / x^2-5

I think $3x-10$ is correct for the numerator, unless I also made an algebra mistake somewhere. But you need to fix the denominator.

yep its y'= 3x-10 / root(x^2-5)^3. Thanks you soooo much.

You need parentheses for the terms in the numerator. Also, mixing "root" and the exponents looks pretty weird (not wrong, though).

y' = (3x - 10)/(x² - 5)^(3/2)
