Having trouble with this problem. Use the appropriate rules to find its derivative. y' = (x+5)(x/x+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was wrong the last time. WIll try now. Do you need more arentheses for x/(x+1)?

OpenStudy (riley):

oh oops

OpenStudy (riley):

y' = 9x+5) * (x/x+1)

OpenStudy (riley):

i mean y' =(x+5) * (x/X+1) Gosh i'm so tired i can't even write the problem out correctly . . .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, need to find derivative to (x^2+5x)/(x+1)?

OpenStudy (riley):

Ummm I'm not sure to be honest. It gives me the y derivative, and thats one thing thats confusing me. >_<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Me too. Just for simple derivative you can look there http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y%3D%28x%2B5%29%28x%2F%28x%2B1%29%29 but it's probably not what you need
