hey, but waut, inthe quotient rule, you square the denominator when you take the derivative so shouldn't it be for the anti? 1/(79^(1/2) )?

no because if you actually multiply the original problem out, you still end up with the 1/79 in the answer

multiplying the problem by 1/79 is just like multiplying the problem by 1, you can ignore it in the problem

it would look like this

(768/79) + (23/79)t - (t^2)/79
(768/79)t + (23/79x2)t^2 - (t^3)/79x3 + C
and factoring out 1/79 gives you the answer
