Simplify the expression 2012-02-12
From Christy:
Hi guys, ok so I'm having problems with solving this equation since it's been so long I've done precal.
I have to find critical points so I have to find the derivative first. This is what I've done so far s(t)= (t-6)^4 * (t+1)^2
t'= 4(t-6)^3*(1)*(t+1)^2+ 2(t+1)(1)*(t-6)^4
so this is where I got stuck, which is the algebra part. How can I simplify this to get the answer to figure out the critical points.

An algebraic exercise with fractions and radicals 2008-11-18
From Rubén:
Question from Rubén, a teacher:

I have the ecuation:

U = [yb / (ab+a^2)]^1/2 + [ya / (ab+b^2)]^1/2

I know for sure this reduces to

U = [y (1/a + 1/b)]^1/2

but I cannot find a way to get into that result!

Thanks
