describe how you would check the quotient of two rational expressions. Create and demonstrate your own example of this concept. Please help me with this question.. confused!!!

Question

chaise · Answer

Is the question asking you how you can check the quotient rule of two rational expressions, finding the derivative by the quotient rule and then checking it?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, I think so. I am confused.

chaise · Answer

So the quotient rule applies when you have divison, correct?
You can manipulate equation so it becomes the chain? rule.


xa/b = xa^-b
Apply chain rule.
' xa^-b = bxa^(-b-1) x 'a

Does this make sense? I think this is right, may be wrong.

anonymous · Answer

So you switched?

chaise · Answer

Well, I created a power instead of division in the equation.

you know how xa^-b = x/a^b?

I just went backwards.

Oh I see. Thank you!!
