Replying to Math help! Quotient rule, second derivative
Okay, I'm fine with doing the first derivative using the quotient rule, but some of the homework we've been set asks for the second derivative using the quotient rule, which I haven't come across yet.
I've tried finding the derivative, then finding the derivative of that, but something is going wrong cause the answer comes out wrong every time.
The question is
"Show that if y = 1+2x/1-4x
then d2y/dx2 = k/(1-4x)^3
for constant k, and find the value of k"
