Differential prob: g(x)= e^x/1+x + PI/2

[xceler8ari1984]

g(x)= e^x/1+x + PI/2

I haven't any work, don't know where to begin. thanks

g(x)= e^x/1+x + PI/2

Your formatting is ambiguous. Do you mean either of the following?

. . . . .g(x) = e^x/(x+1) + (PI) / 2

. . . . .g(x) = (e^x) / (x + 1) + (PI) / 2

Or something else?

I haven't any work, don't know where to begin.

Lacking any instructions (or definitions regarding the variables "P" and "I"), it is unlikely that anybody else will know where to begin either. Sorry.

this is correct form of the problem, directions are to differentiate function and determine domain. thanks

g(x) = (ex) / (x + 1) + (PI) / 2

You say that you "don't know where to begin." Finding the domain of the function g(x) just involves algebra, so your comment must apply to the differentiating part.

Has differentiation not yet been covered in your class? Have you heard of the "Quotient Rule" at all?

Also, what are the conditions on "P" and "I"? Are they functions of x, to be differentiated implicitly? Are they constants? Something else?

Please reply with clarification. Thank you.

Eliz.

Edit: In a private message, the original poster clarified that "PI" is actually the number "pi".
