Calculate the derivative of the function 2[(x+8)(x^2-1)]^-1/2

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Bring down the exponent and then use chain rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer -(3x^2+16x-1)/((x+8)(x^2-1))^3/2

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Is the problem: \[2[x+8(x^2-1)]^{-1/2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

If I'm right then it would be \[\frac{ d }{ dx }g(h(x))=g'(h(x))*h'(x)\]
