It's Christmas on Sat.

"6 snow white boomers."

Apparently, a famous song.

I'm still not really doing much. But I'm sure I'll manage.

Differentiate:

X . sqrt(X+1)

Can't seem to find the path to the solution given.

Hoping I get some help.

You differentiate it as a product using the product rule.
u = x
u' = 1
v = (x+1)^(1/2)
v' = 1/[2(x+1)^2]
dy/dx = uv' + vu'
= x/2(x+1)^2 + (x+1)^1/2

i hope this isnt something ive missed this year

I dozed off during differentiation because curve sketching was more fun. I'm screwed for 11&12, aren't I?

I'm still halfway through doing logarithms. Need more maths.

i feel slightly confused. because i got (x+2)/[2(x+1)^(3/2)] which is the same as (x+2)/[2(x+1)(x+1)^(1/2)].

and jm, you can use the quotient rule. and for the product rule, v is meant to be (x+1)^(-1/2).
