1. **State the problem:**
Find the derivative of the function $$y(x) = \frac{3x^2 - 2x + 2}{-5x^2 + 3x - 1}$$.
2. **Recall the formula:**
For a function $$y = \frac{u(x)}{v(x)}$$, the derivative is given by the quotient rule:
$$y' = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2}$$
where $$u = 3x^2 - 2x + 2$$ and $$v = -5x^2 + 3x - 1$$.
3. **Calculate derivatives of numerator and denominator:**
$$u' = \frac{d}{dx}(3x^2 - 2x + 2) = 6x - 2$$
$$v' = \frac{d}{dx}(-5x^2 + 3x - 1) = -10x + 3$$
4. **Apply the quotient rule:**
$$y' = \frac{(6x - 2)(-5x^2 + 3x - 1) - (3x^2 - 2x + 2)(-10x + 3)}{(-5x^2 + 3x - 1)^2}$$
5. **Expand the terms in the numerator:**
First term:
$$(6x - 2)(-5x^2 + 3x - 1) = 6x \cdot (-5x^2) + 6x \cdot 3x + 6x \cdot (-1) - 2 \cdot (-5x^2) - 2 \cdot 3x - 2 \cdot (-1)$$
$$= -30x^3 + 18x^2 - 6x + 10x^2 - 6x + 2 = -30x^3 + 28x^2 - 12x + 2$$
Second term:
$$(3x^2 - 2x + 2)(-10x + 3) = 3x^2 \cdot (-10x) + 3x^2 \cdot 3 - 2x \cdot (-10x) - 2x \cdot 3 + 2 \cdot (-10x) + 2 \cdot 3$$
$$= -30x^3 + 9x^2 + 20x^2 - 6x - 20x + 6 = -30x^3 + 29x^2 - 26x + 6$$
6. **Subtract the second term from the first:**
$$(-30x^3 + 28x^2 - 12x + 2) - (-30x^3 + 29x^2 - 26x + 6)$$
$$= -30x^3 + 28x^2 - 12x + 2 + 30x^3 - 29x^2 + 26x - 6$$
$$= (\cancel{-30x^3} + \cancel{30x^3}) + (28x^2 - 29x^2) + (-12x + 26x) + (2 - 6)$$
$$= -x^2 + 14x - 4$$
7. **Write the final derivative:**
$$y'(x) = \frac{-x^2 + 14x - 4}{(-5x^2 + 3x - 1)^2}$$
**Answer:**
$$y'(x) = \frac{-x^2 + 14x - 4}{(-5x^2 + 3x - 1)^2}$$
