Differentiate the function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=\frac{ xsinx }{ 1+x }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y'=\frac{ (1+x)(xsinx)' - (xsinx)(1+x)' }{ (1+x)^2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get the wrong anser here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ (1+x)(xcosx)-(xsinx)(1) }{ (1+x)^2 }\]

hartnn (hartnn):

(1+x)' = 1 i think u are sure about this... u need to use fg'+f'g in x cos x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the book has a + sinx with that xcosx

hartnn (hartnn):

by taking f as x and g as cos x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x*cos(x) + sin(x) =(x*sin(x)) '

OpenStudy (anonymous):

product rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, its possible to use the product rule, inside of the quotient rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not possible, necessary.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

required, in fact. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so let me see if I set this up correctly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y = \frac{ xcosx + sinx + x ^{2}cosx }{ (1+x)^{2} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y'=\frac{ (1+x)(x(sinx)') + (sinx(x)') - (xsinx)(1+x) }{ (1+x)^2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pretty much... you left off a prime on that last (1+x) ...other than that good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow that really cleared it up for me, thanks @Algebraic!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm glad:)
