I'm trying to take the derivative of [x/x^2+1]^3. Where do I start?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Start as how you start to any derivative, difference quotient.
 
as I interpret
$$(\frac{x}{x^2}+1)^3$$

start with the chain rule with power rule , then quotient and difference rule .

Start by clarifying your expression.
(\frac{x}{x^2+1})^3 or (\frac{1}{x}+1)^3?
 
Thanks! That really helped.

In the future, post questions like this in the Homework & Coursework section (under Calculus), not here in the technical sections. When you post a question in the Homework section, a template appears into which you enter the problem description, any formulas or equations, and what you have tried.
