Question

I need major help with derivatives.. Is anyone good at finding them?

Answer 1

I have a few equations but i have no idea how to solve them.

Answer 2

is easier if you post specifics anew, so we can all see it and help and revise each other

Answer 3

okay .
f(x)=6/x at x=-2

Answer 4

@jdoe0001

Answer 5

well, recall that \(\bf \cfrac{1}{x} \implies x^{-1}\)

Answer 6

so just use the power rule for that

Answer 7

I would if i knew how to use it. Could you explain further @jdoe0001

Answer 8

so you're doing derivatives and dunno the power rule? hmm begs the question why are you doing them

usually the chapter is cover first, then you do the exercises

Answer 9

Thanks! And I'm doing derivatives not by choice.If it was up to me i wouldn't do math at all.I would ask of you for further reference not to judge people about what they know and don't know, especially when there asking for help, when you don't know their situation. @jdoe0001

Answer 10

@crazyheart08 well, I still don't see how skipping the material you're supposed to cover is somehow justified due to reasons as you say aren't of your predilection

I understand you may not like it, is not of your liking, but I'd suggest to not make them your choice if they aren't, now if you have to, you're still need to cover the material, if you don't want to cover the material, then you may reconsider staying on.

however if you do decide to stay on, so you have to bear the responsibility of the material. I find no justification on what you expressed to skip it or disregard it.

and yes, I do make those judgments, we all do, if someone isn't clear about the material, sure I cover it, if it's just skipping out, which happens and folks gives lots of excuses for that and I buy very little of them, then the advice is don't, do cover your material, if you don't want to be in the course, then it may not be for you.
