Have a specific question bear? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i am posting in momentarily

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there a better way to post than word

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use Quotient rule:\[(\frac{f}{g})'=\frac{f'g-g'f}{g^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did that and got a very messy answer (4cosx+4cosxsinx^2-8sinx^2-4sinxcosx)/(1+sinx^2)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ (1+\sin^2x)(4cosx)-(4sinx)(2sinx(cosx)) }{ 1+\sin^2x }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i set it equal to zero. so 4cosx+4cosxsinx^2-8sinx^2-4sinxcosx=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you forgot to square the bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but now how do i find the answer(s). I set it equal to 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are get the numerator to \[4\cos^3(x) \]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

|dw:1349541997416:dw| Hmmm your numerator is 4cos^3(x)? Hmmmm
