need help with the attachment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) Just plug in 1 for the numerator and g(x) for the denominator in the quotient rule. b) \[ -{\frac {1+k{{\rm e}^{s}}}{ \left( s+k{{\rm e}^{s}} \right) ^{2}}} \] assuming y is a function of s. c) Follows from \[ x^{-n} = \frac{1}{x^n} \] and \[ \frac{d}{dx} x^n = nx^{n-1} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the quotient rule the same thing as the reciprocal part b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean? The reciprocal rule is a special case of the quotient rule. You can use either one for part b, but it's easier to use the reciprocal rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The quotient rule f'g-fg'/g^(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but g(x) is just a variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is your question? g is not just a variable, it's a function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, hit good answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK I need help with differentiating the bottom on part could you show me step by step how to differentiate that one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

part b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and also the numerator of the function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to differentiate\[ \Large s+k\cdot e^s \] with respect to s.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The derivative of a sum is the sum of derivatives, so differentiate s and then differentiate k*e^s.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the derivative of s?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. And what is the derivative of e^s ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ta, see the attachee

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e^(s)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your attachment doesn't include part b) explanation, thats what he asked about.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so now you can add them together and you get the derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then just plug that into the formula in part a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1+e^(s)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No! Don't forget the factor k!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k does not depend on s, so you can just leave it unchanged

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But you must not forget it :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here u r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

raheen there is still no explanation of part b :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

been answered all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

part b asking to find using the rule only

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ta123 do you have more questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whears the other 2 parts are to prove

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ta got that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol raheen are you just trying to get a medal, because I can give you one if thats what you want :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your answer is wrong raheen, I got -1-ke^(s)/(s+ke^(s))^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no YThe, I always try to help , pls don read the things in wrong way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your answer is correct ta.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, thanks for the help Y and raheen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ta why some ppl are using an offensive words?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I stayed with u b4 more than 2 hrs, without any annyance, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no prob!
