Asked by Elizabeth
Differentiate each
1. Y= 1/x + 3/x^2 + 2/x^3
2. Y= x^5(1+ x)^5
3. Y= 4-x^2 / 2x+3
Can someone help me I'm lost

1. Just use the power rule
recall that 1/x^2 = x^-2
2. product and chain rule:
y = x^5 (1+x)^5
y' = 5x^4 (1+x)^5 + x^5 * 5(1+x)^4
= 5x^4(1+x)^4 (1+2x)
3. quotient rule. Assuming the usual carelessness with parentheses,
y = (4-x^2)/(2x+3)
y' = [(-2x)(2x+3) - (4-x^2)(2)]/(2x+3)^2
= 2(x^2+3x+4)/(2x+3)^2
