This week was like a review week for us. We went over all the stuff we did in the past two weeks to get ready for the test on Friday. We did a packet that consisted of finding derivatives, product rule, quotient rule, finding velocity, and anything else we may have learned in the past two weeks.
-Finding the derivative is pretty easy now. If you are suppose to use the derivative formula all you do is plug in ( x- delta x ) everywhere you see an x then subtract by the original problem and put it all over delta x. Then simplify to get your answer. If it just says to find the derivative then you can use the shortcut: constants = 0. The derivative f( x ) = x^6 move the 6 to the front and subtract one from the exponent and your derivative would be 6 x^5...this is called the Power Rule.
-Product Rule and Quotient Rule:
-Product Rule:
( copy first equation ) ( derivative of the second equation ) - ( copy second equation ) ( derivative of first equation )
-Quotient Rule:
( bottom ) ( top derivative ) - [( top ) ( bottom derivative )] / ( bottom equation squared )
