help please number 2

OpenStudy (photon336):

@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

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[v'=\frac{1}{2}(4-2x)^{-\frac{1}{2}}(-2)\]

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):

\[6x*\sqrt{4-2x}-\frac{ 3x^{2} }{ \sqrt{4-2x} }\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

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|
