two questions attached:) Help?:) Pretty please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

chain rule away for the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the derivative of sine is cosine then the derivative of square root of something is one over two root something the derivative of cosine is minus sine the derivative of tangent is secant squared the derivative of \(\pi x\) is \(\pi\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is really really long and drawn out your math teacher must hate you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\cos\left(\sqrt{\cos(\tan(\pi x))}\right)\times ...\] is the first part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then \[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\cos(\tan(\pi x))}}\times ...\] is the second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then\[-\sin(\tan(\pi x))\times ...\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

math hates me in general lol!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then \[\sec^2(\pi x)\times ...\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're the best!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finally \(\times \pi\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is going to be really hard to write this without making a mistake pull the \(-\pi\) out front

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll write it and screenshot it to make sure its right:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good luck!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-\pi \cos\left(\sqrt{\cos(\tan(\pi x))}\right)\times \frac{1}{2\sqrt{\cos(\tan(\pi x))}}\times \sin(\tan(\pi x))\times\sec^2(\pi x)\] lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG YOUR SO AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*YOU'RE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it worked? wowowow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it did!!!!:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i guess we have to look at the second one then....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it worked:D LOOOKKK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol sorry:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is ok second one is much easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay:) i seriously don't know how u did it!!! its awesome can't believe i got it right! i like tripled check i copied everything right before submitting it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is chain rule repeated like 5 times for the next one, you know the derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

again!!!?? & yes is it this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8(x+1)/x^2(x-2)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean x-1 not x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am don't think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{4}{(x^2-2x)^2}\] right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agh its wrong;/?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the function, yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got a (x-1) on the numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure what rule you are using i would avoid the quotient rule for this one since the numerator is a constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmmmm i still need to practice more:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the derivative of \(\frac{1}{x^2}\) is \(-\frac{2}{x^3}\) so the derivative of \[\frac{4}{(x^2-2x)^2}\]is \[-\frac{8(2x-2)}{(x^2-2x)^3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you could write it as \[4(x^2-2x)^{-2}\] and use the power rule and the chain rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then plug in 3 and see what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? same as the point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw if my explanation above was not so clear, let me rewrite it like this since the derivative of \[\frac{1}{x^2}\] is \[-\frac{2}{x^3}\] then by the chain rule the derivative of \[\frac{1}{f^2(x)}\] is \[-\frac{2f'(x)}{f^3(x)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seems unlikely they would be the same let me check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it was clear don't worry, i don't want to make you work a lot lol!!! Thank you i very much appreciate it!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, maybe i did something wrong lol as usual

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is \(-\frac{32}{27}\) should i write it out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f'(x)=-\frac{8(2x-2)}{(x^2-2x)^3}\] \[f'(3)=-\frac{8\times 4}{3^3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i think i plugged them in wrong in my calculator lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me guess, you plugged it in to the original function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see it:) thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

something like that lol -_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

calculator is not your friend here, it is easier to see the arithmetic without it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea, i just didn't want one small mistake to ruin my whole answer the math homework system hates me lol, it seems to love you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank for advice!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

love that webassign (right) you get it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yes i do!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait hold on lol i haven;t submitted it!! i meant i got it that you love webasign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-32/27 is answer right? I'm about to submit it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what i get i would be $32 that it is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!!:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<3 :) yeayyyy!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're awesome!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw (invoice is in the mail)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(blush)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeayyyy have an 80 from a 65 thanks to you!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol silly!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 more to go have fun!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will!!! I'm getting the hang of it!!:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

post in a new thread if you need more help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will thank you!!! i have till 12 to finish them so i'll try for now, i don't like making you guys do all my work lol
