Question:medium

Find the derivative of the composite algebraic-trigonometric function expression with respect to $x$: \[ f(x) = x^{\cot x} + \frac{2x^2 - 3}{2x^2 - x + 2} \]

Show Hint

When applying the quotient rule, be extra careful with negative signs when expanding polynomial terms in the numerator. A single sign error during expansion will change the final quadratic coefficients!
