Product Rule (Part I)

Today we began to look at how to use the product rule in order to differentiate the product of two seperate functions.  Be sure to re-read the proof of the product rule (using first principles) in your student text as we will look a little closer at that in class on Monday.

Bottom line if f(x) = g(x)h(x) in order to find the derivative you simply CANNOT multiple g-prime(x) by h-prime(x)...you NEED to use the product rule.
