second derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\frac{ e^x }{ axe^x+2 })''\] with \[a \in \mathbb{R}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get to the first derivative after simplifying: \[\frac{ 2e^x-ae^2x }{( axe^x+2)^2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this correct? should i now take the derivative again, to achieve the second derivative?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

did you use the quotient rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, for the first derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then simplified

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah, thats right,

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i guess yeah, just apply that quotient rule one more time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That would be one long second derivative.
