3.2 The Product and Quotient Rules Flashcards
1
Q
what if the formula of the product rule?
A
f’(x)=u’v+uv’
2
Q
how to find the nth derivative
A
- keep finding deravative until you see something changing
- rewrite the derivative function with the changing something represented with the value n
3
Q
when to use the product rule
A
when you see two things being multiplied to each other
4
Q
what is the formula to find the quotient rule
A
f’(x)=u’v-uv’/v^2
5
Q
how to solve f(x)=square root x times g(x) where g(4)=2, g’(4)=3, find f’(4).
A
- rewrite the function given using the product rule format
- plug in 4 into the derivative
- use what’s given and substitute the number accordingly
- solve with the numbers
6
Q
what does it mean if the slope if 0 and a point?
A
there is a maximum or minimum at that point and the tangent is horizontal and equals the y values in the point
