Answer

$ \displaystyle \frac{2x-0.63x^{-0.7}}{x^{2}-2.1x^{0.3}}$

Work Step by Step

(see p. 838, Generalized Rule)$\quad$ $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[\ln|u|]=\frac{1}{u}\cdot\frac{du}{dx}$ $u(x)=x^{2}-2.1x^{0.3}$ $\displaystyle \frac{du}{dx}=2x-2.1(0.3x^{-0.7})=2x-0.63x^{-0.7}$ $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[\ln|2x^{2}+1|]=\frac{1}{x^{2}-2.1x^{0.3}}\cdot(2x-0.63x^{-0.7})$ $=\displaystyle \frac{2x-0.63x^{-0.7}}{x^{2}-2.1x^{0.3}}$
