\[y=\frac{ x }{ x ^{2}+1 }\] where \[\frac{ dy }{ dx }=0\] and sketch the graph of this curve.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
have you graphed the curve yet?

@radar
OpenStudy (reemii):
do you know how to compute the derivative ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got x*arctan(x)+1/(x^2+1) but im not sure

nope.
use the formula for the derivative of a quotient \((f/g)'\). the answer is has no arctan in it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(1-x^2)/(x^2+1)^2
OpenStudy (reemii):
right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what about point?
OpenStudy (reemii):
it says where "(f/g)' = 0" . you just computed (f/g)' . now solve the equation.

but i'll contradict the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^2+1 cannot be equal zero
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x cannot be +or -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but, in the answer it is
OpenStudy (reemii):
the numerator is 1-x^2. not 1+x^2.

i'm about denominator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is x^2+1 in squares
OpenStudy (reemii):
but you don't care about the denominator. \(\frac AB = 0 \iff A=0\).
you only have to solve for the numerator.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
mmmmmmm
mhhmmmm
mhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmm
thanks :DD
OpenStudy (reemii):
the two points are x=±1.
