\[f(X)=\frac{ x-13 }{ x^{2}-25 }\]

I guide you only, take derivative first, tell me the result
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1. differentiate using quotient rule OR
2. convert the fraction to a product and use product rule.

good friend!!!

I like the second method.. and here it goes
\[f(x)=\frac{x-13}{x^2-25}=(x-13)(x^2-25)^{-1}\\
f'(x)=(x-13)\left[(-1)(x^2-25)^{-2}{d\over dx}(x^2-25)\right]+(1)(x^2-25)^{-1}\\
f'(x)={-2x(x-13)\over(x^2-25)^2}+{1\over x^2-25}\]

you may simplify by taking the common denominator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ (x-1)(x-25) }{ (x^2-25)^2 }\]

how to find its stationary point???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
at a stationary point \(f'(x)=0\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
at x=1, x=25 and x =5
is that right???
