Hi all! What do you get when you differentiate (e^x)/(1-e^x) using the quotient rule?

hartnn (hartnn):

know the quotient rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

hartnn (hartnn):

then what do u get for numerator ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1-e^x)(e^x)-(e^x)(-e^x)

hartnn (hartnn):

correct! simplify it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e^x-(e^x)^2 +(e^x)^2 =e^x

hartnn (hartnn):

absolutely correct! are you sure you needed help ? :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol so then it's e^x/(1-e^e)^2?

hartnn (hartnn):

e^x/(1-e^x)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is then e^x/(1-2e^x -(e^x)^2)?

hartnn (hartnn):

keep it as e^x/(1-e^x)^2 this is most simplified form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aha since I can't do anything with the 1

hartnn (hartnn):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol well thanks for helping me make sure I was right :)

hartnn (hartnn):

you're welcome ^_^
