3.3 Product and Quotient Rules

OpenStax Calculus Volume 1 — Section 3.3

Learning Objectives

  • State and apply the product rule: \((fg)' = f'g + fg'\)

  • State and apply the quotient rule: \(\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)' = \frac{f'g - fg'}{g^2}\)

  • Know when to use each rule vs. simplifying first

  • Combine product/quotient rules with power rule for complex expressions
