Question

derivative of 1/bx?

I know.... so easy, just bear with me @Calculus1

Answer 1

1/bx=bx^-1
y'= -1(bx)^-2 * (b+x)

Answer 2

no not b+x

Answer 3

I know that isn't right ^^^ ... why in the world am I messing up!

It's so simple too... Maybe I need to take a break. Been studying for 6 hours straight lol

Answer 4

chain rule?

Answer 5

yep

Answer 6

what the derivitive of bx?

Answer 7

deriv of first times second + deriv of second times first

1x+1b

Answer 8

chain rule says
"take the derivative of the outside then multiply it by the derivative of whats on the inside"

Answer 9

that is the product rule you are using... typically b is assumed to be a constant

Answer 10

\[\frac{d}{dx}\frac{1}{bx}=\frac{1}{b}\times \frac{d}{dx}\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{b}\times \frac{-1}{x^2}=-\frac{1}{bx^2}\]

Answer 11

^^k. Brain fart.

TY

Answer 12

constant is not important. ignore it and multiply at the end
