Find the derivative of (t^2 - 4/t^4)*t^3

[carbz]

I have two of these here...

Homework Statement

Find the derivative

Homework Equations

(t^2-\frac{4}{t^4})*t^3

The Attempt at a Solution

This is how far I got:
(t^2-4t(^-4))(t(^3))
(t^2-4t(^-4))(3t(^2))+(t^3)(2t+16t(^-5))

Homework Statement

Find the derivative

Homework Equations

f(x) = \frac{(6x+5)(x^3-2)}{(3x^2-5)}

The Attempt at a Solution

This is what I got only:
(6x+5)(x^3-2)(3x^2-5)(^-1)

Well for (t^2-\frac{4}{t^4})*t^3

you could just multiply it out and get t^5+\frac{4}{t}=t^5+4t^{-1} and proceed to differentiate w.r.t. t

for the 2nd one
\frac{d}{dx}(uv)=\frac{v\frac{du}{dx}+u\frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2}

by that formula you should see that the end derivative would be a fraction

 

[rocomath]

always simplify from the beginning if you can

for 2. take the ln of both sides and expand it then take the derivative

Allright, thanks. I got both problems worked out correctly now.
