Product and Quotient Rules and Higher Order Derivatives Section 2.3 AP Calc
Thm 2.7 The Product Rule The product of two differentiable functions f and g is itself differentiable. Moreover, the derivative of is the first function times the derivative of the second, plus the second function times the derivative of the first.
Thm 2.8 The Quotient Rule The quotient of two differentiable functions f and g is itself differentiable at all values of x for which . Moreover, the derivative of is given by:
Characteristics of simplified derivatives: -Absence of negative exponents -Combining of like terms
s(t) v(t)=s’(t) a(t)=v’(t)=s’’(t)
