    Working out the first and second derivative

    Thank you, for some reason something wasn't clicking. Found using the product rule with these problems really simplifies them so, thanks again.

    Working out the first and second derivative

    Let f(x)=x^2/(1-x^2 ) a) Find f'(x) b) Find f"(x) For the answer to a) they give f'(x)=2x/〖(1-x^2)〗^2 and for b) f"(x)=2 (1+〖3x〗^2)/〖(1-x^2)〗^3 Now after many rounds of trying i have not been able to get an answer remotely close to what they have given. i don;t know if it is due to me...
