take derivative:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x+1\1-x )^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will i use quotient rule first then chain rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Chain rule then quotient rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

move the 2 down first then quotient rule the inside.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will i move 2 down multiply(inside) then multiply by quotient rule did that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. So it ends up being 2(inside)(quotient-ruled-fraction)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am working on this and I know it is not correct, but too difficult to type the problem out. 2(x+1/1-x) (2/(1-x)^2) ????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Quotient rule: for simplification: T=top numerator, B=bottom denominator. (T/B)'= ((T')*B-(B')*T)/(B^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(x+1/1-x) is correct so far... just follow the quotient rule for the inside, multiply and you're done.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did that and got [this is after the 2(x+1/1-x) ]] (1-x)(1)-(x+1)(-1)/(1-x)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then after that i get 2(x+1/1-x) (1-x+x+1/(1-x)^2 is that ok so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that's correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then i get 2(x+1/1-x) [2/(1-x)^2] what about that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. that's good too. Then you can combine fractions again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then I get 2(2x+2/x^2-2x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Im not sure what you did there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(x+1/1-x) [2/(1-x)^2] top: 2* (x+1)* 2 bottom: (1-x) * (1-x)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so should i have 4x+4 on top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then bottom should be x^2-2x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never mind one 1-x is ^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah. all the bottom components are the same, so just make it (1-x)^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for your help, i knew more than i thought. i just needed a little guidance
