Given y = 9x + 1/x, find the values of x such that dy/dx=0

We are given y as a function of x, let's first compute dy/dx, and then solve the equation dy/dx =0. dy/dx = 9 -1/x². Then dy/dx = 0 is equivalent to 9 = 1/x². Taking x² on...

Given f(x) = (x^4 - 1) / (x^4 + 1), use the quotient rule to show that f'(x) = nx^3 / (x^4 + 1)^2 where n is an integer to be determined.

QUOTIENT RULE: [u(x) / v(x)]' = [u'(x)v(x) - u(x)v'(x)] / v²We have: u(x) = x⁴ - 1, hence u'(x) = 4x³v(x) = x⁴ + 1, hence v'(x) = 4x³So we have: [(4x...
