What is the derivative of (x^2)/(x^3 +1) and why?

Dx(t/b) = (bt'-b't)/b^2
OpenStudy (amistre64):
or
Dx(t/b) = Dx(t b^-1) = t' b^-1 + -b^-2 t
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you sir!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or ma'am
OpenStudy (amistre64):

2x(x^3 +1)- (x^2)3x^2
--------------------- ; simplify as needed
(x^3 +1)^2
OpenStudy (angela210793):
[(x^2)/(x^3 +1)]'=(-x^4+1)/(x^3+1)^2
OpenStudy (angela210793):
(U/V)'=9U'V-UV')/V^2
OpenStudy (amistre64):
uvs are fine and all; but I perfor t and b to distiguish top and bottom easier
OpenStudy (amistre64):
like the product rule: r'l + rl' , not that its hard to keep track of those lol

ok but i meant Dx(t/b) = (bt'-b't)/b^2 must b b't-bt'/b^2
OpenStudy (amistre64):
nope; bt' is first.... always has been
you bring the bottom up to derive the top
OpenStudy (amistre64):
just like yours ;)
OpenStudy (angela210793):
let me see smth pls :)
OpenStudy (amistre64):
(U/V)'=U'V-UV')/V^2
t/b = t'b - tb' / b^2
t/b = bt' - b't / b^2

its all the same ;)
OpenStudy (angela210793):
it is? O.o
OpenStudy (angela210793):
i mean in this case u subtract them...not like...U*V which would b ok if u switched places...
OpenStudy (amistre64):
nobody switched places; they all 3 are identical
OpenStudy (amistre64):
u'v = t'b = bt'

oops :$ :$ ...i got it.....i thought u had written smth else...sorry ^_^
OpenStudy (amistre64):
uv' = tb' = b't
OpenStudy (angela210793):
I got it :)
