How do i take the derivative of this?

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

\[f(x)=t+ \frac{ 9 }{ t+1 }+1\]

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

I got (t-8)/(t+1) which is wrong :/

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Okay well lets break it up into three. Lets start with the easier ones. What is the derivative of t? and What is the derivative of 1?

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

1 and 0

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Okay good job. So so far we have that \[f'(x) = 1+\left[ \frac{ ? }{ ? } \right] + 0 \]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Now to take the derivative of\[\frac{ 9 }{ t+1 }\] We have to use to Quotient Rule. Do you know what that is?

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

yup and for the 9/t+1 i got \[\frac{ -9t-9 }{ (t+1)^2 }\]

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

OH WAIT I FIGURED IT OUT

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

i forgot to take the deriv of the bottom lol silly me :')

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Haha. Okay then. :)

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

so its just 9/(t+1)^2 for tht. Lol thank you!
