Differentiate by rule...

OpenStudy (asylum15):

\[\frac{ x }{ \sqrt{1-x^2} }\]

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Looking at it, it seems like a quotient rule, but does it have a chain rule within?

OpenStudy (asylum15):

What are you thinking Blufoot?

OpenStudy (asylum15):

\[ \frac{ \sqrt{1-x^2} . (1) - (x) . (1-x^2)^{1/2} }{ \sqrt({1-x^2})^2 }\]

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Any ideas guys?

OpenStudy (raden):

yes, first u know that derivative of y=u/v is y' = (u'v-uv')/v^2 from information above u=x and v=sqrt(1-x^2) centainly u know that if u=x then u'=1, now, if v=sqrt(1-x^2) then v'=....

OpenStudy (raden):

hint : use chain rule if v=sqrt(f(x)), then v'=f' (x) / 2*sqrt(f(x))

OpenStudy (asylum15):

my line above is incorrect?

OpenStudy (raden):

incorrect

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Could you show me that in equation or draw?

OpenStudy (raden):

ok, first i want to drawing to find derivative of sqrt(1-x^2)
