The Product Rule
The Quotient Rule

2. 3.2 Using the Product & Quotient Rules
Find the derivative of each function.
F(x)=(3x2+4) (x3-2) 3. 4.

3. 3.2 Application Example
Worldwide sales, in millions of dollars, of a DVD recording of a hit movie t months from the date of release is given by
Find the rate at which sales are changing at time t.
How fast are sales changing:
At the time the DVD is released (t=0)?
Six months from the date of release?
Answer in complete sentences.

4. 3.3 The Chain Rule Algebra review. In composition of functions:
the output of one function is used as input to another function;
there is an inside function and an outside function.
If f(x)=x2 and g(x)=5x+1, then
Note the answer to the first example above is a function raised to a power. Whenever you have a function raised to a power, like this example, you can think of composition and a function inside of a function.

5. 3.3 The Chain Rule
If h(x)=g[f(x)], so g is the outside function and f is the inside function, then the derivative of h equals the derivative of the outside function g at the inside function f times the derivative of the inside function f. In symbols,
h’(x)=g’[f(x)] f ’(x)
General Power Rule (special case of chain rule)
{[f(x)]n}’=n[f(x)]n-1 f ’(x)
