Im am not getting any of the suggested answers, which is the correct answer and how? 

### Differentiation Exercise

Let \( \alpha \), \( \beta \), and \( \gamma \) be real valued constants.

Let \( f(x) = 3 \alpha x^4 \).

Let \( g(x) = 2 \beta x^4 + \gamma \).

Let \( h(x) = \sqrt{2x} \).

Determine \( \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{f(x)}{h(x)} \right) \). Hint: Rewrite the quotient with fractional exponents and reduce first. Then factor out the constants so that you are left with a power function to differentiate.

\[ \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{f(x)}{h(x)} \right) = \]

Choose the correct option:

- \( \bigcirc \) \( 12 \alpha x^3 \sqrt{2x} \)
- \( \bigcirc \) \( \sqrt{2x} \left( \frac{4x^2 + 11 \alpha x}{2x} \right) \)
- \( \bigcirc \) \( \sqrt{2x} \left( \frac{\alpha x^2}{2} \right) \)
- \( \bigcirc \) \( \frac{21 \alpha x^2 \sqrt{x}}{2 \sqrt{2}} \)

**Explanation:**

To solve this, follow the hint provided. Initially, rewrite the quotient with fractional exponents and simplify. After that, factor out any constants so you have a power function left to differentiate.

This problem tests your knowledge of:

1. Quotient rule
2. Simplifying expressions with fractional exponents
3. Differentiating power functions
