f(t) = [(t-2)/(2t+1)]^9, then f'(t) = ?
\[ f(t)=\left(\frac{t-2}{2t+1}\right)^9 \] Just use chain rule + quotient rule.
i used the chain and quotient rule but i don't get one of the MCQ answers
If you have forgotten:\[ \text{Chain rule:} (f\circ g)'(x)=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)\\ \text{Quotient rule:} \left(\frac{f}{g}\right)'(x)=\frac{f'(x)g(x)-f(x)g'(x)}{g^2(x)} \] If you have used those rules and gotten an incorrect answer, please show us your work and result and we can let you know where you made an error.
here is my working out. @nbouscal
@remnant i think it's correct .
That looks correct, what are the MCQ answers? Usually they are just written in a slightly different way and you just have to do a bit of algebraic manipulation to get to one of them.
I've attached the answers. I've realisd that the answer is A. I just needed to manipulate the answer a little. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
so a is correct .
