Question

find the derivative of y with respect to x:

Answer 1

\[y=1/x(x+1)(x+2)\]

Answer 2

this?

Answer 3

sorry...1 is the numerator...everything else in the den.

Answer 4

do you know the chain rule?

Answer 5

y=1/(x(x+1)(x+2))

Answer 6

I pretty much know nothing for my calc class. I just need to get through this assignment that's due tomorrow and then I start my sessions with my tutor...any help is greatly appreciated

Answer 7

\[\large \frac{1}{x(x+1)(x+2)} \]

Answer 8

well you can use the product rule or the quotient rule

Answer 9

have you tried expanding it

Answer 10

So...1\[\frac{ 1 }{ x ^{3}+3x ^{2}+2x}?\]

Answer 11

you could bring it to the top, so all the powers change signs to a negative

Answer 12

\[y'=\frac{ -(3x ^{2}+6x+2) }{ x ^{2}(x ^{2}+3x+2)^{2} }..???

Answer 13

sorry...that's so ugly. I'll retype it.

Answer 14

\[y'=\frac{ -(3x ^{2}+6x+2) }{ x ^{2}(x ^{2}+3x+2)^{2} }\]
