1) \[y=\frac{ (2x+1)^3 }{ 3x^2-1)^2 }, then find (dy/dx) 2) Find \[f'' (x) if f(x) =4(x^2+16)^{2/3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are 2 questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for 1 use quotient rule and for 2 chain rule

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

your latex code broke

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the second suppose say: find f'' if \[f(x)=4(x^2+16)^{2/3}\]

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

second derivative... that's what we need. We need the combination of the chain rule and product rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not sure how to do it

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

I'm tired........ but wow.. ok product rule chain rule time.. chain rule is something like put the exponent in the front, subtract 1 from the exponent, take the derivative from the inside () and put it outside.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

so here's an example for chain rule (x^2+5)^2 exponent goes in the front - >2 subtract 1 from the exponent -> 2-1 =1 the derivative of x^2+5 ---> 2x so that goes outside,, my solution is 2(x^2+5)(2x) = 4x(x^2+5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. can you check if I'm doing this correctly? y' = \[6(2x+1)^2 ((3x^2-1)^{-2}+(2x^2+x))\]

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

which problem is this? Welll.... hmmm I would've used the quotient rule on it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is for the first question
