Question

Could someone help me on this question,

Find the derivative of g(x) = 2x/5x-1

Answer 1

Let u = 2x and v = 5x - 1.

Then use the quotient rule on your function g = u/v

Answer 2

Do you know the quotient rule for differentiation?

Answer 3

um somewhat, my prof hasn't really taught us it yet but gave us this question to try it out

Answer 4

\[g' = \frac{v.u' - u.v'}{v^2}\]
So here
u' = 2
v' = 5

So now substitute into the quotient rule and simplify.

Answer 5

Ohh okay, thanks a lot i appreciate it.
