Quotient Rule

We took a look at how to differentiate rational functions in class today using the Quotient Rule.
NOTE:  The derivative of a quotient is NOT the quotient of their derivatives.  See the proof on page 94 of your student text for the proof of the rule.  If explanation is required ask in class tomorrow.


HOMEWORK:  Page 97 - 98, #'s 3, 4bcf, 5ab, 7, 8, 9b, 10 and 12

The plan is to move on to section 2.5 in class tomorrow.  If there are no questions regarding the Quotient rule we will start our study of the Chain Rule on Wednesday.  This would be the last section in the chapter, it is almost time for a test.
