Ok...its alittle embarassing that im in Calculus and i forgot how to handle fraction exponents...lol
anyways im having trouble trying to remember how factor (actually extract) them out of an equation...here is it...
those of you who have a graphing calculator or know how to work one will understand this equation better...cause thats pretty much how im setting it up...
F'(x) = [(X^2 + 1)^-1/2] - [ (X^2)(X^2 + 1)^-3/2]
there is more to how i got to this step but anyways this is where i am.....i am finding the derivative...which is the equation above..but im trying to simplify it...and well i need to extract to something like
F'(x) = [ (X^2 + 1)^-3/2 ] [ (X^2 + 1)^? - (X^2) ]
ok...well thats about as much as i can really do..cause i dont remember the rest....*laughs* ofcourse you know i can find the critcal numbers and increasing and decreasing and inflection points...but uhh i need to get through this step...if for nothing else so i know how to do it when i come across it again...lol..thanks
