Using the chain rule and the product rule, we know \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx\strut}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \frac{f'(x)g(x) - g'(x)f(x)}{g(x){}^2}.

In this case,

\qquad f(x) = FUNCN.fText,

\qquad g(x) = FUNCD.fText.

Differentiate each function:

\qquad f'(x) = FUNCN.ddxFText,

\qquad g'(x) = FUNCD.ddxFText.

Thus, the answer is

\qquad \dfrac{{(FUNCN.ddxFText)(FUNCD.fText) - (FUNCD.ddxFText)(FUNCN.fText)}}{(FUNCD.fText)^2}.
