Make your own! In groups, make two or three problems which can be solved using the following outlines: Step 1: Quotient rule Step 2: Power rule Step 3: Special differentiation formula B. Step 1: Product rule Step 2: Special differentiation formula C. Create your own set of steps and associated problems. Try to make the problems as hard as possible! Class 9 - 10/5/2015
