Find the derrivative of (3-4e^x)/x^3
So far I have gotten ((-4e^x) (x^3)-3(3x^2))/x^6 is this correct?

no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
close but the second term in the numerator is wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)'=\frac{f'g-g'f}{g^2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\(f(x)=3-4e^x,f'(x)=-4e^x,g(x)=x^3,g'(x)=3x^2\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
unless you did some algebra maybe lets see

\[\frac{x^3\times (-4e^x)-3x^2(3-4e^x)}{x^6}\] is the first step
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i was wrong,
cancel a common factor of \(x^2\) and get
\[\frac{x\times (-4e^x)-3(3-4e^x)}{x^4}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then multiply out in the numerator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ohh..I think I tried taking out the -4e^x on the numerator..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So would the answer be x(-4e^x)-9+12e^x?

that looks beter
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for the numerator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Alright thanks a lot you were a lot of help! :) Annd yess it'd be all over x^4 :) I almost forgot that part ha
