Thread: Need help with one more derivative (quotient rule)

V= 1+x - 4 sq root x) / x

I am confused as where to start on this problem. Do I use the quotient rule? Would I make the sq root of x.... x^1/2. Thanks for the help!

So would I just set this up as

1/x + x/x -4/x x^1/2 /x?? And then find the derivative of that?

Please, use brackets to make your post readable.

1/x+x/x could be (1/x)+(x/x) or ( (1/x) + x ) / x ... etc
