Reflection #8

In honor of the quiz we took Friday, ( and due to the fact that I forgot my all my notes from this week in my locker ) I am going to do a reflection on the Product Rule and the Quotient Rule…..I know, dates back a few weeks but sorry. These are the formulas in simple terms for these two rules:
Product Rule: ( copy 1st ) ( derivative of 2nd ) + ( copy 2nd ) ( derivative of 1st )
Quotient Rule: ( copy bottom ) ( derivative top ) – [( copy top ) ( derivative bottom )] / ( bottom ) ^2
-Hear is an example of the product rule:
Find the derivative of (3x^2+4) (2x^2-3x)
= ( 3x^2+4 ) ( 4x-3 ) - ( 2x^2-3x ) ( 6x )
= 12x^3 - 9x^2 + 16x - 12 - 12x^3 + 9x^2
= 16x – 2
Here is an example of the quotient rule:
X^2 + 3 / 2x
= ( x^2 + 3 ) ( 2 ) – ( 2x ) ( 2x ) / (2x)^2
= 2x^2 – 4x + 3 / (2x)^2
