Why Do we Need the Product Rule and the
Quotient Rule?

Why Do we Need the Product Rule and the
Quotient Rule?
       Products like ex x2 + 2 cannot be multiplied out like, say,
       x3 x2 + 2 .




                                                                                                  logo1

Why Do we Need the Product Rule and the
Quotient Rule?
       Products like ex x2 + 2 cannot be multiplied out like, say,
       x3 x2 + 2 .

                                2x2 + 3
       Similarly, quotients like        cannot be converted into
                                 x2 − 4
       functions that do not involve quotients.

Introduction                        Derivation                      The Rules                               Examples



       Theorem. The product rule and the quotient rule. If p = gk
              g
       and q = and g and k are differentiable at the point x, then
              k
                p (x) = (gk) (x) = g (x)k(x) + k (x)g(x),
       and if k(x) = 0, then
                                       g             g (x)k(x) − k (x)g(x)
                          q (x) =            (x) =                         .
                                       k                     k2 (x)
        Remember the product rule in the same order as the numerator
       of the quotient rule.
  Product The derivative of a product is the derivative of the first factor times
  Rule.    the second factor plus the derivative of the second factor times the
           first factor.
  Quotient The derivative of a quotient is the derivative of the numerator times
  Rule.    the denominator minus the derivative of the denominator times the
           numerator (as a quantity) divided by the square of the denominator.
