1. The Quotient Rule

2. Objective  To use the quotient rule for differentiation.  ES: Explicitly assessing information and drawing conclusions

3. The Product Rule Does ? NO! Take each derivative

4. The Quotient Rule Does ? NO

5. The derivative of a quotient is not necessarily equal to the quotient of the derivatives. The Quotient Rule

6.  The derivative of a quotient must by calculated using the quotient rule: Low d High minus High d Low, allover Low (low squared)

7. The Quotient Rule 1.Imagine that the function is actually broken into 2 pieces, high and low.

8. The Quotient Rule 2. In the numerator of a fraction, leave low piece alone and derive high piece.

9. The Quotient Rule 3. Subtract: Leave high piece alone and derive low piece.

10. The Quotient Rule 4. In the denominator: Square low piece. This is the derivative!

11. The Quotient Rule Final Answer
