@marcelie chose your u and your v first then differentiate both
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Rewrite it:
\[y=3x^2(4-2x)^{\frac{1}{2}}\]
OpenStudy (marcelie):
okay so it can be written like this
u = 3x^2
u'= 6x
v = (4-2x)^1/2
v'= 1/2(4-2x)^-1/5
OpenStudy (marcelie):
come back D: @Photon336

\[v'=\frac{1}{2}(4-2x)^{-\frac{1}{2}}(-2)\]
OpenStudy (photon336):
plug it into the formula for product rule \[v*(\frac{ du }{ dx })+u*(\frac{ dv }{ dx })\]
OpenStudy (marcelie):
OpenStudy (marcelie):
this is what i did
OpenStudy (photon336):
\[6x*\sqrt{4-2x}-\frac{ 3x^{2} }{ \sqrt{4-2x} }\]

yeah I saw what you did were you trying to simplify your answer further?
OpenStudy (marcelie):
yes i just got stuck on the top portion
OpenStudy (photon336):
I'm trying to follow what you did in your notes. I'm getting something like this
\[\sqrt{4-2x}*6x*\sqrt{4-2x}-\frac{ 3x^{2} }{ \sqrt{4-2x} }*\sqrt{4-2x}\]
\[\frac{ 6x(4-2x)-3x^{2} }{ \sqrt{4-2x} }\]
\[\frac{ 24x-12x^{2}-3x^{2} }{ \sqrt{4-2x} } = \frac{ 24x-15x^{2} }{ \sqrt{4-2x} }\]
OpenStudy (marcelie):
oh okay hmm question if we are given something like this
|dw:1465354384814:dw|
