Question

@-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.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

hmmm like 2 seperate terms?

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

simplify before taking the derivative :)

Answer 5

so take denominator to 1/2 power?

Answer 6

sure, that's probably a good idea :D

Answer 7

me and algebra haven't had the best relationship

Answer 8

lolol that stinks c:

do these steps make sense?
