How does the quotient rule work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ d }{ dx }\left( \frac{ u }{v } \right)=\frac{ v \frac{ du }{dx }-u \frac{ dv }{dx }}{v ^{2} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want a proof or the rule itself?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A proof

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its proven by the first principle of derivates. f'(x)=(f(x+h)-f(x))/h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its only logical as f'(x) is the change in f(x) instantaneously

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here consider the function to be h(x)=F(x)/G(x) and solve using firstprinciple. Its lenghty and a little difficult but you would get the quotient rule from there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (primeralph):

I can give a proof.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

It involves the product rule.
