  1. Yes, 1 divided by g(x). g(x) on its own is, well, g(x).
  2.  
  3. Let's just carry on and see how this plays out. lolz. I confirmed with a TA in the area that I'm studying that I don't have to treat it as a 1/3 if I'm only working with g(x). Let's carry on!
  4.  
  5. From the first derivative,
  6.  
  7. f(x) = 2x
  8. f'(x) = 2
  9.  
  10. g(x) = 3(x^2-1)^(2/3)
  11. g' = (2/3)(2x)(x^2-1)^(-1/3)
  12.  
  13. So now, we use the quotient rule:
  14.  
  15. (f'g - fg')
  16. -------
  17. g^2
  18.  
  19. (2*3(x^2-1)^(2/3)) - ((2x)((2/3)(2x)(x^2-1)^(-1/3)))
  20. ---------------------------------------------
  21. ( 3(x^2-1)^(2/3))^2
  22.  
  23. That's what I believe it should be (not fully simplified, but screw it. :P)
