The derivative of f(x) = `-7/(2x^2-8x+16)` has to be determined. Use the quotient rule.
f'(x) = `((-7)'*(2x^2-8x+16) - (-7)*(2x^2-8x+16)')/(2x^2-8x+16)^2`
=> `(7*(4x - 8))/(2x^2-8x+16)^2`
=> `(7*(x - 2))/(x^2-4x+8)^2`
=> `(7x - 14)/(x^2-4x+8)^2`
The derivative of `-7/(2x^2-8x+16)` is `(7x - 14)/(x^2-4x+8)^2`
