Find the second derivaive of y = x / (x^3 -1)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

have you tried quotient rule or product rule + chain rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I got the first derivative correctly (verified by Wolfram Alpha) but am messing up when taking the derivative the second time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first derivative is \[-\frac{ 2x ^{3}+1 }{ (x ^{3}-1)^{2} }\]
