differenciation question

Pigman II · 2005-12-11 10:53:58

I need to differenciate... (e ^ bx) - (e ^ ax) ____________________ x ...with respect to x such that the result will have no x's on the bottom. Is there any trick/formula/manipulation for doing this?

Dont think so, no matter how you differentiate you'll always get an x under the line. You should get
b e^(bx) - a e^(ax) e^(ax) - e^(bx) ___________________ + _______________ x x^2
