Rewrite the square root as what is inside the parentheses to the 1/2 power. Then you do the usual process of multiplying by the exponent, bringing the 1/2 power exponent down by one, to become -1/2 …

This is an interesting problem. What I would do first is try plugging in a somewhat large number, like 1000 for x. It's not infinity, but it's large. I removed the interior sets of parentheses …

My process would be to first rewrite the square root by using a fractional exponent (1/2). From there, you multiply by the exponent in front and then subtract one from the exponent. Then you …

We started by looking at one of the more difficult problems on her assignment that had to do with the changing area of the section swept out by the minute hand of the clock. Her teacher had made the …

We started by looking at some problems with derivatives, they included the product rule, quotient rule, and the chain rule. The format of the problems was a bit different than usual. After that, we …

We started by looking at extrema for functions, maxima and minima. They can be seen on graphs with a flat slope and can also be calculated by using the first derivative. We looked at derivatives of …
