OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

Find the derivative dy, dx for y equals the quotient of the quantity x cubed minus 5 times x and the quantity x squared minus 1.. dy dx equals the quotient of the quantity x squared minus 1 times the quantity 3 times x squared minus 5 minus the product of x cubed minus 5 times x and 2x, and the square of the quantity x squared minus. dy dx equals the quotient of the quantity x cubed minus 5 times x times the quantity 2x minus the product of the quantity x squared minus 1 times the quantity 3 times x squared minus 5, and the square of the quantity x squared minus. dy dx equals the quotient of the quantity x squared minus 1 times the quantity 3 times x squared minus 5 plus the product of x cubed minus 5 times x and 2x, and the square of the quantity x squared minus. dy dx equals the quotient of the quantity 3 times x squared minus 5, and 2 times x.

@steve816 i keeo getting option C but it is wrong sorry

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

yes sorry will do please help with this one in mean time!

OpenStudy (steve816):

Okay

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

ok i medaled now this one if you can

OpenStudy (steve816):

Is this the actual question? Why is it in all words? lol

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@steve816 yes/// i know im so sorry im hoping you can still help with it :-(

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

can you? it is not C that is for srure

OpenStudy (steve816):

You should be able to figure this out from the quotient rule

OpenStudy (steve816):

Lemme check

OpenStudy (steve816):

Sorry, I gotta go!

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

no please i really needed hekp with

Is this the question: What is \(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\), for \(y = \dfrac{x^3 - 5x}{x^2 - 1}\) ? A. ``` dy dx equals the quotient of the quantity x squared minus 1 times the quantity 3 times x squared minus 5 minus the product of x cubed minus 5 times x and 2x, and the square of the quantity x squared minus *1*. ``` \[\frac{(x^2-1)(3x^2-5) - (x^3-5x)(2x)}{x^2-1}\] B. ``` dy dx equals the quotient of the quantity x cubed minus 5 times x times the quantity 2x minus the product of the quantity x squared minus 1 times the quantity 3 times x squared minus 5, and the square of the quantity x squared minus *1*. ``` \[\frac{(x^3-5x) (2x) - 1(3x^2 - 5))}{(x^2-1)}\] C. ``` dy dx equals the quotient of the quantity x squared minus 1 times the quantity 3 times x squared minus 5 plus the product of x cubed minus 5 times x and 2x, and the square of the quantity x squared minus *1*. ``` \[\frac{(x^2-1)(3x^2-5) + (x^3-5x)(2x)}{(x^2 - 1)}\] D. ``` dy dx equals the quotient of the quantity 3 times x squared minus 5, and 2 times x. ``` \[\frac{3x^2-5}{2x}\]

(EDIT:) A. \[\frac{(x^2-1)(3x^2-5) - (x^3-5x)(2x)}{(x^2-1)^2}\] B. \[\frac{(x^3-5x) (2x) - 1(3x^2 - 5))}{(x^2-1)^2}\] C. \[\frac{(x^2-1)(3x^2-5) + (x^3-5x)(2x)}{(x^2 - 1)^2}\] D. \[\frac{3x^2-5}{2x}\]

OpenStudy (reemii):

The formula is: \(\left( \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right)' = \frac{g(x)f'(x) - f(x)g'(x)}{g(x)^2}\). \[\frac{(\cdots)(\cdots)' - (\cdots)(\cdots)'}{(x^2-1)^2}\] Apply the formula carefully.
