Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = \frac{- 5 x - 4}{\ln{\left(x \right)}}\).
Using the quotient rule with \(\displaystyle f = - 5 x - 4\), \(\displaystyle f' = -5\), \(\displaystyle g = \ln{\left(x \right)}\), and \(\displaystyle g'= \frac{1}{x}\) gives:
\begin{equation*} \frac{ (\ln{\left(x \right)})(-5) - (- 5 x - 4)(\frac{1}{x})}{(\ln{\left(x \right)})^2} = - \frac{5 x \ln{\left(x \right)} - 5 x - 4}{x \ln{\left(x \right)}^{2}} \end{equation*}
