@-1/Sq Rt. of @
where @ = theta (sorry didnt know what else to put there for theta) 
So Im supposed to be using the power rule for differentiation. I am familiar with the rule I just don't know the algebra to get there.

$$\frac{ \theta-1 }{ \sqrt{\theta} }$$
So let's try to simplify this first :) We can rewrite this as 2 fractions.
Divide each of the top terms by sqrt(@)

hmmm like 2 seperate terms?

zepdrix · Answer

mhm, like this :)
$$\frac{ \theta }{ \sqrt \theta }-\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt \theta }$$

zepdrix · Answer

simplify before taking the derivative :)

anonymous · Answer

so take denominator to 1/2 power?

zepdrix · Answer

sure, that's probably a good idea :D

anonymous · Answer

me and algebra haven't had the best relationship
