Did you find the first derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I came up with -5sin(-π)-5cos(-π) / (sin (-π) + cos(-π)^2 so far.... :)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You did the bottom times the derivative of the top. then you must subtract the top times the derivative of the bottom. That is the numerator of the derivative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like this 5*[cos(x)-x*cos(x)+sin(x)+x*sin(x)]/([cos(x)+sin(x)]^2)?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Now plug in -pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup and i get -5sin(-π)-5cos(-π) / (sin (-π) + cos(-π)^2... not sure if that's right

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is the sin of -pi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is the cos of - pi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Plug those values in and evaluate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh thanks
