    Explanation of a simple exponent rule in a derivative problem needed

    Thank you. I was aware of the rule for exponents, but applying the power of 8 to both the numerator and denominator escaped me, now it all makes sense!

    How Do You Differentiate f(x) = (71+x)/(1-x)?

    Homework Statement Differentiate, f(x)=71+x/1-x Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Working this out, hoping it's right as I was going along, my final answer is 71+x/1-x * (2ln7)/1-x

    Explanation of a simple exponent rule in a derivative problem needed

    Explanation of a "simple" exponent rule in a derivative problem needed After differentiation, I get this : 9(t-2/2t+1)8 * 5/(2t+1)2 Now this simplifies into 45(t-2)/(2t+1)10 Now, I am wondering what the property is that combines the exponent from the top with the bottom to get an power of...
