To differentiate ( f(x) = \frac{e^x}{x - 7} ) using the quotient rule:
- Let ( u = e^x ) and ( v = x - 7 ).
- Find ( u' ) and ( v' ).
- ( u' = e^x ) (since the derivative of ( e^x ) is ( e^x ))
- ( v' = 1 ) (since the derivative of ( x - 7 ) is ( 1 ))
- Apply the quotient rule: [ \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{u}{v}\right) = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2} ]
- Substitute ( u' ), ( v' ), ( u ), and ( v ) into the formula: [ \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{e^x}{x - 7}\right) = \frac{(e^x)(x - 7) - (e^x)(1)}{(x - 7)^2} ]
- Simplify the expression: [ \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{e^x}{x - 7}\right) = \frac{e^x(x - 7) - e^x}{(x - 7)^2} ]
- Further simplification may be possible, but this is the result of differentiating ( f(x) ) using the quotient rule.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
