how to do derivative of 3/x^(1/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you could use quotient rule, or you could move x^(1/2) to numerator, and use power rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you show me how to do it both ways? @helpme1.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\huge quotient ~rule = \frac {f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x)}{f(x)^2} \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you could also rewrite \(\huge \frac{3}{x^{1/2}} \) as \(\huge 3x^{-1/2}\) and do then derive it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
