please help me in calculus find the derivative of cosx/x=y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quotient rule for this one \[\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)'=\frac{gf'-fg'}{g^2}\] with \[f(x)=\cos(x), f'(x)=-\sin(x), g(x)=x, g'(x)=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got a -sinx/x -cosx/x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get \[\frac{-x\sin(x)-\cos(x)}{x^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same think you got, i just have it over one denominator not two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u please explain it to me i have a test tomorrow and i need to know how to do this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you did it right, we got the same answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)'=\frac{gf'-fg'}{g^2}\] \[\left(\frac{\cos(x)}{x}\right)'=\frac{x(-\sin(x))-1\times\cos(x)}{x^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

clean it up and get \[\frac{-x\sin(x)-\cos(x)}{x^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good luck on your test if you have any more question post, and say hello to my friend SAIFOOOOOO!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
