Question

Calculus Problem:
Find the derivative of the function f(x) = 4 sin x / 4-4cos x

Answer 1

Hmmm notice how everything has a 4? :O

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

\[\large 4-4cosx=4(1-1cosx)\]
If you factor out the 4 from the bottom like this, you might be able to see a nice cancellation before you differentiate :D

Answer 4

Then it looks likeeee.. quotient rule. Having trouble setting it up? :O

Answer 5

i can set it up

Answer 6

Hmmm ok then what part are you getting stuck on? c:

Answer 7

well i hadn't tried doing the stuff with the four's like what you just did
that might be the problem

Answer 8

\[\large [\frac{ sinx }{ 1-cosx }]'=\frac{ (sinx)'(1-cosx)-sinx(1-cosx)' }{ (1-cosx)^2 }\]

Answer 9

Hmm yah, a lot of 4's floating around :( that could be tricky.
