Can someone please check me answer please.... Find the derivative of the following function f(x)=((1)/((3x^2+1)^5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ (3x^2+1)^5 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-30x(3x^2+1)^-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thats what I got too thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait I read it wrong I didn't get the x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the bracket stays the same and is multiplied by the old power and the derivative of the bracket, then the power is decreased

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-5(3x^2+1)^{-6}(6x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then the answer is\[-30x(3x+1)^{-6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep like what dough said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then that is the answer I just posted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks
