    Why Are My Calculus Derivatives Incorrect?

    f(x)=X2/(x2-16) (X2-16)(2X)-(X2)(2X)/(X2-16)2 f'(x)=-32X2/(X-16)2 (X4-32X4+256)(-64X)-(-32X2)(4X3-64X)/(X4-32X2+256)2 -64x^5+2048X^3-16384X+128X5-2048X3 f''(x)=64X5-16384X/(X4-32X^2+256)2 f(x)=(1+x)/(1-X) (1-X)(1)-(1+X)(-1)/(1-X)2 f'(x)=2-2X/(1-X)2 (-2X+1)(-2)-(2X-2)(2-2X)/(X2-2X+1)2...

    Why Are My Calculus Derivatives Incorrect?

    Homework Statement f(x)=X^2/(x^2-16) f(x)=1+x/1-X f(x)=X^3(X-2)^2 Ive done the first and second derivatives but they just don't seem right Homework Equations Quotient/Chain/Product Rule The Attempt at a Solution f(x)=X^2/(x^2-16) (X^2-16)(2X)-(X^2)(2X)/(X^2-16)^2...

    How Do You Find the First and Second Derivatives of These Functions?

    Well here's what I've got, I think they're right but I'm not sure. f(x)=X^2/(x^2-16) (X^2-16)(2X)-(X^2)(2X)/(X^2-16)^2 f'(x)=-32X^2/(X^2-16)^2 (X^4-32X^2+256)(-64X)-(-32X^2)(4X^3-64X)/(X^4-32X^2+256)^2 -64x^5+2048X^3-16384X+128X^5-2048X^3 f''(x)=64X^5-16384X/(X^4-32X^2+256)^2...

    How Do You Find the First and Second Derivatives of These Functions?

    f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = x^-2 x^2/x^-2 ((x^-2)(2x)-(-2x)(x^2))/ (x^2)^2
