Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{- 6 x^{2} + 8 x + 4}\).
Using the quotient rule with \(\displaystyle f = \sqrt{x}\), \(\displaystyle f' = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}\), \(\displaystyle g = - 6 x^{2} + 8 x + 4\), and \(\displaystyle g'= 8 - 12 x\) gives:
\begin{equation*} \frac{ (- 6 x^{2} + 8 x + 4)(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}) - (\sqrt{x})(8 - 12 x)}{(- 6 x^{2} + 8 x + 4)^2} = \frac{9 x^{2} - 4 x + 2}{4 \sqrt{x} \left(3 x^{2} - 4 x - 2\right)^{2}} \end{equation*}
