Lesson 2: 3.2 The Product and Quotient Rules

1. Why isn't the derivative of a product function the product of the derivatives?
2. Why isn't the derivative of a quotient function the quotient of the derivatives?
3. What is the Product Rule and how can we remember it?
4. What is the Quotient Rule and how can we remember it?
5. How are the Product and Quotient Rules related?

- Product Rule
- Quotient Rule

(Differentiation Rules)

Differentiation Rules:
DOK levels 1-3

Derivative as a rate of change, such as velocity, etc.

- students often mix up parts of the product and quotient rules
- students often think that the derivative of a product or quotient is the product or quotient of the individual derivatives, and that is a difficult misconception to break
