Derive the following.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\frac{ y+1 }{ y-1 })^-17\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's to the power of -17

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[(y+1)^{-17} * (y-1)^{17}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i guess you can rephrase it that way?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Now i guess we'll use the product rule?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Dang! Why not apply the quotient rule? D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you would get 1/ something

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

One more mistake. \[(\frac{y+1}{y-1})^{-17} \to (\frac{y-1}{y+1} )^{17}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i had that in the beginning lol

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Now apply the quotient rule!|dw:1358919611478:dw|
