Not a literal twist! It's just a bit more complex. Homework Statement A ball is to be shot from level ground toward a wall at a distance "x". I am given the graph of the y component of velocity just as it would reach the wall, as a function of that distance x(m). Here's the equation of the...

I fixed my mistake, but the answer from the power rule does not match up with the one from the equation. WAIT! does the power rule go to zero?? because it is (x)(x+1)-1 and the x goes to zero? does the power rule not work at all for this kind of function?

Ok thank you! So my use of the power rule is correct?

Unfortunately my computer does not have an easy way to do that! Unless you are able to do that with the thread options? It would make my life a lot easier! It is hard to keep putting in those parenthesis! :) Thanks

Taking the derivative of a polynomial fraction?? b]1. Homework Statement [/b] Ok, so the question wants me to differentiate f(x)= (x)/(x+1). We are supposed to use the definition of the derivative f'(x)= (limit as h->0) [f(x+h)-f(x)]/(h). We also have learned the power rule. I did the formula...
