whats the derivative of f(x)= 1+2cosx/sinx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

number five

OpenStudy (amorfide):

cosx/sinx is cotx so you can differentiate that if you do not know how then you could differentiate by doing vdu-udv/v² this means the function V multiplied by the derivative of U - function U multiplied by derivative of V all divided by function V squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it?\[f(x)=\frac{ 1+2\cos(x) }{ \sin(x)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sandy524

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure but im scared to put that answer in

OpenStudy (amorfide):

@Zekarias im pretty sure that is his question so you should talk him through solving the one you wrote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what im trying to find the derivative of yahoo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean zekarias

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you apply the quotient rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sure the answer previously said was right but it has to be in rational form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in order to get one of the answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did not post any answer yet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are u still there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

amorfide can u help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is the question what is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that again not one of the choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!
