Find the derivative \(\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{- 2 x^{\frac{5}{2}} + 4 x^{\frac{3}{2}} - x^{\frac{1}{2}}}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}}\)
Using termwise division gives \(\displaystyle f(x) = - 2 x^{2} + 4 x - 1\). Now the power rule for derivatives can be used instead of the quotient rule. This gives \begin{equation*}f'(x) = 4 - 4 x \end{equation*}
