  1. Derivatives of Products and Quotients Lesson 4.2

  2. Quotients Rule! Products Rule! This lesson will show us how to take derivatives of products and quotients.

  3. Review • We know what to do with constant times a function • For k • f(x) • We also know what to do with the sum of functions • When • Then

  4. Product Rule • Consider the product of two functions • It can be shown (see proof, pg 215) that • In words: • The first function times the derivative of the second plus the second times the derivative of the first

  5. Try It Out • Given the following functions which are products • Determine the derivatives

  6. Quotient Rule • When our function is the quotient of two other functions … • The quotient rule specifies the derivative • In words: • The denominator times the derivative of the numerator minus the numerator times the derivative of the denominator, all divided by the square of the denominator

  7. OK … Try That! • Use the quotient rule on the following functions

  8. Average Cost • Suppose we have a function y = C(x) which gives us the cost of manufacturing x items • The average cost is • Then the marginal average cost is

  9. Average Cost • Suppose the cost for manufacturing x items is • Write the function for the average cost • What is the marginal average cost? • Determine rate of change of the average cost for 5 items … for 50 items
