May someone helpe me with this question??

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

there is no question....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question is on the attachment.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

There still is no question. Find the Domain? What is to be done?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Didn´t you see the attachement??

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

I did see the attachement. g(x) is defined and there is no instruction. What is to be done?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry for didn´t say before. I need to find the derivative.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

There it is! A problem statement. Okay, that's rather tedious. How do you propose we approach it? -- Divide the front? -- Multiply through the parentheses? -- Jump right in with the Product Rule? -- Other?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

May I use the quotient rule first and use the product rule?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

You can do that if you want, but you may become confused as it is more a side-effect of the product rule. You'll need the derivative of that leading fraction, anyway, so it doesn't much matter where you start.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you suggest?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

I'm tempted to do it in chunks. \(\dfrac{d}{dx}\dfrac{x^{3}+1}{x^{3}+3} = ??\) -- Usng the Quotient rule. \(\dfrac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2} - \dfrac{2}{x}+1\right) = ??\) -- Using the Polynomial rule. Once we get this piece out of the way, the rest will be algebra.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this case I will compute the derivatives separately?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Let's see what you get. Then we can reassemble.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will use the property from algebra. a*(b/c)=ab/c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the use the quotient rule.
