Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around differentiation and evaluation of integrals, specifically focusing on the quotient rule and product rule for differentiation, as well as integral evaluation techniques.

Discussion Character

  • Mixed

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to differentiate a rational function and evaluate two integrals, expressing confusion over their results. Some participants suggest using specific differentiation rules and question the correctness of the original poster's attempts.

Discussion Status

Participants are actively discussing the differentiation process, with one confirming a step as correct. There is ongoing exploration of simplification and verification of results, but no consensus has been reached on the final answers.

Contextual Notes

The original poster notes discrepancies in their integral evaluations and has corrected variable notation from 'dy' to 'du'.

Differentiate:

(6-xe^x)/(x+e^x)=...


Evaluate Intergral:

(2u^5-8u^3+5u^2)du, from lower limit -1 to higher limit 0.
(i got 10/3 for some reason...)

(u^7+6u^13)/u^9 du, from lower limit 1 to higher limit 2.
(n i got 47 for this..)

I tried these a few times but my answer is still not quite right, so I am kinda stuck right now, can any1 help with the answers?

Differentiation one, just use the quotient rule and the product rule.

Did not check you intergals yet, but I think your 'dy's should be 'du's instead.
 
sorry, i changed it to du.
For the differentiate, I did use the quotient and product rule, but somehow the answer is wrong.

Could you post your attempt so we can see what, if anything you did wrong?
 
[(-e^x-xe^x)(x+e^x)-(1+e^x)(6-xe^x)]/(x+e^x)^2
is this step right?
 
Yes that is correct.
 
oh, okay good.then i try to simply it i got [e^x^2+x^2e^x+6e^x+6]/(x+e^x)^2...which is not right...
