EDIT: I found the mistake, question is answered! Its funny because I spent 40+ minutes trying to get the right answer and looking for the mistake but typing it all out in latex helped me to find it!
Homework Statement
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{x}}{x^3+1}[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{x}}{x^3+1}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{d/dx (x^{1/2}(x^3+1))-d/dx(x^{3}+1)x^{1/2}}{(x^3+1)^2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\frac{1/2x^{-1/2}(3x+1)3x^2(x^{1/2}}{(x^3+1)^2}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\frac{x^3+1}{2\sqrt{x}}3x^{5/2}}{(x^3+1)^2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x^3+3x^{5/2}+1}{2\sqrt{x}(x^3+1)^2}[/tex]
But the correct answer is:
[tex]\frac{1-5x^2}{2\sqrt{x}(x^3+1)^2}[/tex]
