The Product Rule
If f and g are both differentiable, then
d/dx [f(x)g(x)] = f(x) d/dx[g(x)] + g(x) d/dx[f(x)]
d/dx [f(x)g(x)] =
f(x) d/dx[g(x)] + g(x) d/dx[f(x)]
Product Rule in Prime Notation
(fg)’ = fg’ + gf’
Quotient Rule
If f and g are differentiable, then
d/dx[f(x)/g(x)] = ( g(x) d/dx[f(x)] - f(x) d/dx[g(x)] )/[g(x)]2
Quotient Rule in Prime Notation
(f/g)’ = (gf’ - fg’)/g^2
