need help on a math problem

[ChaoZ]

I think I'm in need of some step by step visual aid.

i'm making it now

are there any chatrooms or stuff that lets you do drawings as well...Besides those games.

Oops, my denominator is incorrect. I forgot you multiply those exponents, lol. My bad.

Yeah, I forgot what those chatrooms are called.

nicely done..I would still use the chain rule and screw the quotient rule

Huh? You either need to use the quotient rule or product rule.

yeah ment to say just the product rule by moving the bottom up.

My teacher usually wanted to have a common denominator but it works

Lol and my integer exam is next week... thx for the reminder

Answer is really different from what I have, but I get how got that answer. I think I'll use your way until I see my teacher or something.

And thanks for all the help.

oh yeah, i never had a teacher who was anal about simplifying all the way down, so if you're wonder why mine looks a bit different, that's why.

 

[chuckywang]

The main idea here is to apply the product rule (or quotient rule) and the chain rule. Simplifying is not the point of this question. I think the teacher expects you to know Algebra I if you're in Calculus.

Use your calculator.

Here is anohter way...Look in quote mode to see it better

7x 7x * (x^3-1)^-4
------------ =
(x^3-1)^4

Then you use the product and chain rules..

[7x * -4(x^3-1)^-5 * 3x^2] + [(x^3-1)^-4 * 7]

then just simplify

Essentially what they did was common factor. I'm putting up a pic now.

Edit:
Hope this helps

Ahh, you did it differently in the beginning.

Wow, my brain hurts. Use Matlab!

This makes your brain hurt?

Edit: I just checked. Neither Maple nor Matlab simply it all the way for you. I also checked Mathematica... Guess what, you'd have to use your poor brain for this one.

Derive does.

You know what, I forgot that there are functions to simplify, so this mental giant wouldn't have to strain his brain.
