Review
We know what to do with constant times a function
For k f(x)

Dx k f ( x) k f '( x)

We also know what to do with the sum of functions

When Then

f ( x ) h( x ) k ( x )

f '( x) h '( x) k '( x)

Product Rule

2.2

2.4

2.5

Consider the product of two functions

f ( x) h( x) k ( x)
It can be shown (see proof, pg 215) that

f '( x) h( x) k '( x) k ( x) h '( x)

In words:
The first function times the derivative of the

second plus the second times the derivative of 6 the first Prepared by : Noor Azura Osman

Quotient Rule

2.2

2.3

2.4

2.5

When our function is the quotient of two other functions p( x) f ( x) q( x) The quotient rule specifies the derivative
f '( x) q( x) p '( x) p( x) q '( x)

q ( x)

In words:
The denominator times the derivative of the numerator

minus the numerator times the derivative of the denominator, all divided by the square of the 8 denominator Prepared by : Noor Azura Osman
