Using the quotient rule
dy/dx = (x^-1) * (3x^2 -5 ) - (x^3 - 5x) * 2x
----------------------------------------------
(x^2 - 1)^2
You are correct
Answer:
If you want the improper fraction 43/8
If you want it in a decimal 5.375
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If the three points are collinear
then

we have
A (1, 2/3), B (x, -4/5), and C (-1/2, 4)
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

step 1
Find the slope AB
we have

substitute in the formula



step 2
Find the slope AC
we have

substitute in the formula



step 3
Equate the slopes


solve for x





simplify
