Find h'(2), given that f(2)=-3, g(2)=4, f'(2)=-2, and g'(2)=7. g(x)/(1+f(x)) now, I know how to do it without the "1" but I never did it with anything else than the basic g(x)/f(x).

OpenStudy (turingtest):

you know the quotient rule?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

..or product rule + chain rule gives the same results

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya, i know them

OpenStudy (turingtest):

let\[u=g(x)\]and\[v=1+f(x)\]now find the derivative of \[u/v\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the formula only tells you what to do with the f(x) and the g(x) where does the "1" go?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, what?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

what is the derivative of any constant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (turingtest):

so that's where the 1 goes poof!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i wasn't thinking about that

OpenStudy (turingtest):

let me know if you still get tripped up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, thanks for the help, I should have it
