Question

Calculus: How do you differentiate a fraction with a constant in the numerator? Can I use the quotient rule? If so, the constant would be 0, making the entire f' =o, there must be a different method but I can't remember. Help please.

Answer 1

Answer 2

I guess the asker mean:
y = 1/x
-> y' = - 1/x²

Answer 3

Yes, the actual problem is f(x)=24/x^2+12

Answer 4

so would the constant stay the same?
