Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{3x^{2}-2x-13}{(3x-1)^{2}}$

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}]= \displaystyle \frac{f^{\prime}(x)g(x)-f(x)g^{\prime}(x)}{[g(x)]^{2}}$ $f(x)=(x+3)(x+1)=x^{2}+4x+3$ $f^{\prime}(x)=2x+4=2(x+2)$ $g(x)=3x-1$ $g^{\prime}(x)=3$ $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2(x+2)(3x-1)-(x+3)(x+1)(3)}{(3x+1)^{2}}$ $= \displaystyle \frac{2(3x^{2}+5x-2)-3(x^{2}+4x+3)}{(3x-1)^{2}}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{6x^{2}+10x-4-3x^{2}-12x-9}{(3x-1)^{2}}$ $= \displaystyle \frac{3x^{2}-2x-13}{(3x-1)^{2}}$
