Thanks, so that's what the derivative looks like, is there anyway to simplify that down further? Also, my algebra skills are obviously horrible so I can't remember the first thing about setting and solving that for 0

I have the equation (x^2)/(sqrt(x+1)) This one has been stumping me, not sure how to reduce the derivative properly much less solve for 0. I get it down to this using the quotient rule: ((x+1)^(1/2)*2x - x^2*1/2(x+1)^(-1/2)) / (x+1) Just started learning derivative a few weeks ago...
