quotient rule

[quotient rule|quotient rule] The quotient rule is a method for finding the derivative of a rational function.

Definition

quotient rule The quotient rule is a method for finding the derivative of a rational function. Its proof is very similar to the product rule's proof, which is why it is omitted here.

Mechanism

quotient rule Using the quotient rule, set f(x) =1 and g(x) =x. Since for each positive integer n, x = ps, the rule applies by finding 7 and Ae.

Comparison

quotient rule The proof of the quotient rule is very similar to the proof of the product rule, so it is omitted here.
